    Attention, Direction & Draw
    Mar 26 2026

    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

    • Thinking about the end game from the beginning of your training.

    • Creating neutrality through all kinds of distractions.

    • Look at me, look at me while, look at that, and look at that while commands for your dog.

    • Balancing draw to fight against drift.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Attention is the dog's anchor. Give them a point to focus on that allows them to be neutral to everything else around. You have to control a dog's eyes to control their behavior.

    • You want to lay the foundation for sending on command, not sending on agitation and discriminating between the two early on in your training.

    • Create neutrality through time on the field.

    • No matter how advanced your dog is, keep working on your fundamentals. That is where the strength lies when you are in actual scenarios.

    "One of the most important fundamental exercises of attention is teaching the dog to look at me, then look at that, and then look back to me, and then look back to that and change it up for the dog where I point the dog at different things that might be of concern to him." — Jerry Bradshaw

  • Navigating Fears and Phobias in Working Dogs

    Navigating Fears and Phobias in Working Dogs
    Mar 19 2026
    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: Timing the puppy training early and with a directed purpose, and handling the fear periods in dogs. Habituation, spontaneous recovery, sensitization, and learned irrelevance. When to reorient and when to address fears. Understanding your dog's phobias to learn how to solve the problem. Common fears and phobias seen in police and sport dogs. Key Takeaways: Too many people restrict social and experiential learning in puppies during the critical stages of development out of fear. As a decoy, as a handler, as anyone working with a young dog, you need to be attentive to what you're doing and always be surveying your environment to avoid unintended consequences. Avoid creating a problem that doesn't already exist. Take a systematic approach to expose your dog to everything they need to be exposed to. Generally, fear periods are short-lived. Take your dog into more familiar places, more natural spaces, where it's not going to encounter a lot of things that are going to be super unusual or might provoke a fearful response. "I have a phobia about creating phobias. I don't want to create a phobia in my dog, because the road is going to be super long to try and systematically desensitize to any type of stimuli that's been created as an avoidance response." — Jerry Bradshaw Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com Book Reference: The Decoy Book by William Garrido - amazon.com/Decoy-Book-Collaborations-Some-Industry/dp/B08T6YGWSD Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training by Stephen R.

  • Liberty Leash Project

    Liberty Leash Project
    Feb 12 2026
    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw, Ben Searle, and Gary Dawson discuss: There is a need for highly trained service dogs for veterans. The origin story and vital mission of the Liberty Leash Project. The importance of standardization and collaboration across service dog training. Things to consider when going into the dog training business. Key Takeaways: Service dogs are a medical implement for people and need to be trained to the highest standards. Training service dogs should be about collaboration, not competition. A village model builds the most resilient dogs and sustainable trainers. Different dogs require different levels of handling ability and different levels of training ability. When it comes to pairing dogs with veterans, they also require different dogs for different people, as no two people and no two dogs require the exact same thing. If you're interested in helping with the Liberty Leash Project, no matter your skill set, reach out to Gary and Ben at the contact information below. "We want these dogs to be these veterans' battle buddies and help them through their tough times and grow from it and thrive from it." — Gary Dawson Episode References: More information on the Kynology Seminar with Dr. Stewart Hilliard: https://kynology.org/ Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com Contact Ben, Gary, and Libery Leash Project: Liberty Leash Project: https://www.libertyleashproject.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyleashproject/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Liberty-Leash-Project-61577084561466/ Phone: 919-351-9123 Email: sapperk91@gmail.com Sapper K9: https://www.sapperk9.com/ Triune Kennels: https://www.triunekennels.com/ Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training: www.tarheelcanine.com YouTube: tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon: patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/ Tarheel Canine Student Portal: https://tcstudentportal.com/ Sponsors: ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com The Drive Company: thedriveco.com The Drive Company Instagram: instagram.com/thedrive.co Dog Armour: dogarmour.com Dog Armour Instagram: instagram.com/dogarmourpro Rogue Arsenal: roguearsenal.com Rogue Arsenal Instagram: instagram.com/rogue_arsenal_official Train hard, train smart, be safe.
