Foundations of Targeting - Triceps

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: The evolution of training targeting, different target areas, and primary vs secondary targets.  Training bites with young puppies even before they start teething and when to start grip development.  When to teach drive, grip, targeting, and outs for the most success in biting behavior. Making the right equipment choices for the different stages of bite training. Progressions in targeting, why you should train rear and front targets, and how they affect launch.    Key Takeaways: Tricep targeting is worth developing and is worth spending time on.  Take the time to learn how to work your dog on a leather strap and on a wedge during early training. Don't expect perfection from the beginning, it is a progression.  If you're doing your training properly, your dog should not have a fixation on the equipment that you can't out them.  Training police dogs in biting legs can help remove hesitation and get a quicker bite on the suspects.   "Developing good targeting without developing multiple targets is a huge mistake."  —  Jerry Bradshaw   Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com   Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: [email protected] Tarheel Canine Training:  www.tarheelcanine.com Podcast Website: https://controlledaggressionpodcast.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 2025 at https://htlk9.com/      Train Hard, train smart, be safe.   Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
