  • Engagement
    May 6 2025

    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

    • Why engagement is important, what it means, and how it differs between puppies and older dogs.

    • The importance of rituals in engagement, no matter the location.

    • Developing engagement and engagement rituals.

    • Creating and maintaining an emotional connection with your dog, no matter your emotional state that day.

    Key Takeaways:

    • If your dog is not in the right state of mind, you’re not going to achieve your training goals in a particular session. If it happens too many times, you won’t be moving forward in achieving your training goals.

    • You should be creating an emotional connection with your dog when you’re training and working with your dog.

    • Whether you are training at a club or in your backyard, you want the ritual to be consistent so your dog knows that it is game time.

    • Engagement does not just happen at the beginning of your training session - it should go through the entire session to keep the dog’s attention and keep them engaged no matter how many repetitions.

    • Stop training when you’re at the peak of it. Leave the dog wanting more for next time.

    "Developing good rituals for engagement means you're going to be training better, right? You're going to be ready ahead of time. You're going to be creating expectations in your dog. When one repetition is over, we want that dog to have the expectation that they're going to get to do it again." — Jerry Bradshaw

  • Back to the Laboratory in Detection
    Mar 7 2025

    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

    • The practical differences between direct reward conditioning and indirect reward conditioning.

    • Primacy of learning and conditioning hunting as a means of locating odor.

    • Understanding the foundations built into your dog’s early training.

    • Utilize the quality of hunting as the barometer to show your dog’s interest.

    • Giving varied and unique hiding places for the odor to your dog in training.

    • Creating sticky behavior in your dog when searching.

    • Building variability to maintain behavior over time.

    Key Takeaways:

    • In the direct reward methodology, we are pairing hunting and odor recognition. It teaches an olfactory queue to get an obedience behavior.

    • In the indirect methodology, we pair the final response and the odor recognition.

    • Variation in hunting volume and variable reward in finding the target order are extremely important.

    • Remove handler dependency as much as possible. You don’t want your canine to be obsessed with you, your reward delivery, and presentations. You want them to have enough independence to do their work without influence from you.

    • Mimic what you see in deployment in your training and in-services. Those pictures should be aligned, your dog doesn’t know the difference.

    • Clearing blanks is something your dog needs to know how to do because that is what they’re going to see often in deployment.

    "Variable reward is the thing that's going to really keep your dog at a high level of engagement in the hunting process over longer periods of time and more area that we're asking them to cover, and it's very important to master variation in how you do detection." — Jerry Bradshaw

  • Back to the Laboratory in Tracking
    Jan 13 2025

    In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

    • Hard surface training for the most successful tracking.

    • Creating an independent problem solver in your dog.

    • Common issues in tracking.

    • Drills and approaches to shore up your tracking foundation and the problems you are facing.

    • Why laying a good track is a critical skill.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Returning to foundational drills is not a bad thing - it is returning to basics to keep your tracking training progressing forward.

    • One of the first things to train in tracking is pace—this will be different from dog to dog, but our job in training is to create a nice, even pace given the dogs temperament, characteristics, etc.

    • Get rid of the large rewards at the end of the track - value the track itself. You need a variable reward system on the track.

    • Don’t get lazy when laying your tracks. If you’re always doing large articles, the dog will start to look for those instead of the potentially higher-value, small articles.

    • Your dog is not too slow. Deliberate is a good pace.

    "This is going to be the life cycle of your tracking - tighten them up, they're going to get looser. Tighten them up again, they're going to get looser. You have to have these go-to's to always reel that dog back in and make him tighter." — Jerry Bradshaw
