  • Creating Independence: The Hunting Game

    Creating Independence: The Hunting Game
    Aug 21 2025

    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

    • Canine independence - identifying the problem and how to solve it.

    • Why you might need to be doing less obedience training.

    • Training independence behaviors.

    • Creating hunting games with progression for puppies of all ages.

    • Working with your dog near and away from you so they are comfortable in both positions.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Balance the inward and outward focus in your puppy training.

    • Wind plays a very important role in the hunting games. The windier it is, the narrower the scent cone; the less wind, the wider it is.

    • Watch your dog’s intensity and speed and adjust the game accordingly. You don’t want to push too fast, but you don’t want them to get bored either.

    • Progressive complexity should be done in a variable way. Some hunts should be easier and some should be harder.

    • Do not step in and solve problems for your dog; work on independent work. That stops it from being independent work.

    "We're trying to create independence. So it's very important that when we start initiating these predatory sequences, the dog will start to, on his own, realize he and only he is going to be the one that can solve this problem, and you are irrelevant in this situation. And that's exactly what we're trying to teach, that there are going to be times where the dog has to work and you are going to be irrelevant." — Jerry Bradshaw

  • Learning to Adapt with K9s Talking Scents, Cameron Ford

    Learning to Adapt with K9s Talking Scents, Cameron Ford
    Jul 31 2025
    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw and Cameron Ford discuss: The creation of PSA and evolution of dog sport. How the rigidity in traditional dog sports has led to innovation and creativity. Being open to adaptation not fighting against it. Increasing complexity in training detection. The responsibility of having an online platform for your dog training. Training based on experience and on research. Key Takeaways: PSA exploded in popularity the last decade due to the prevalence of younger trainers and social media. A lot of traditional dog sport is built around breeding programs and registering your dogs. PSA allows for dogs of any breed and age as long as they can handle the training. If you’re interested in your dogs learning detection, teach your puppies to track and hunt. It is key for police work. Training detection dogs is about more than odor, no matter what changes have occurred over the years. Adjusting to what the dog is doing during training when they aren’t following your progressions is where the fun and intrigue comes in. Training is not a race. Do it right from the beginning and it will create a stronger, better dog than if you try and do it all in just a few weeks. "Unfortunately, a lot of dog trainers get married to doing something because it's the way they've always done and they feel comfortable with it. But I think you have to be smart enough to jettison what's not working or is less efficient." — Jerry Bradshaw Contact Cameron: Website: https://www.fordk9.com/ Website: https://stratosk9.com/ K9s Talking Scents: https://www.fordk9.com/podcasts/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbLa_PL0uHeOK5WsSgjR-Mw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fordk9/ Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.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: https://thedriveco.com/ The Drive Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedrive.co Find out more about Hold The Line Conference 2026 at https://htlk9.com/ Train Hard, train smart, be safe.

  • Brad Gillespie - Signaled Punishment

    Brad Gillespie - Signaled Punishment
    Jul 23 2025

    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw and Brad Gillespie discuss:

    • Positive and negative punishment in police dog training.

    • Pros, cons, and balancing the use of punishment markers.

    • Intentional and unintentional markers.

    • The importance of consistency in punishment.

    • Marking for clearer communication.

    • Biting through the muzzle.

    • Changing one variable at a time and reducing the number of variables in training.

    Key Takeaways:

    • In some cases, marking punishment may be more important than marking with positive reinforcement. Following the punishment marker with the punishment allows the dogs to understand what is happening.

    • Be careful about the overuse of those punishment markers. They can oftentimes create a drift where the marker itself becomes the signal for the dog to rectify the behavior, rather than when you give that command.

    • You need to be consistent in your timing and ready with the punishment. Dogs are great at recognizing when things are consistent or not.

    • Communication is the problem with most issues we have with dogs. Marking punishment is a way that can help us to have clearer communication.

    • Train the dog (and the handler) in a way that makes it look and feel real.

    "I really think that using a marker can allow us, both on negative reinforcement and on positive punishment, to use much higher levels of stimulation, and the dogs are able to better process what's happening. We have a system, or at least a way of communicating with the dog. And I think that the marker helps them understand that a little bit better on both ends of the spectrum." — Brad Gillespie
