Observations on Control Commands - Out

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: How to get fluency in your outing with reward, not punishment. Beginning with the end in mind in your training. Training with e-collars and your dog. Command chains, variable reward, and understanding Pavlovian conditioning.    Key Takeaways: You will not get fluency in your outing until you understand that repetition in out training with rewarding the dog for outing is what is going to get that fluency. There are complications when importing an out command from an object, such as a toy, to fighting a man. Not every e-collar is the same, and not every e-collar is correct for every dog. You want the dog to think there is an obedience command after the release. The dog will be in a hurry to get into that obedience command because that is where the reward will happen.    "One word cannot mean two different actions to a dog. He cannot always read the context in your intentions, so you must give him a command that is going to be meaningful to him." — 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 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/      Sponsors:  ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com Superior Canine Website: https://superiorcanine.ca/  Aaron's Superior Canine Email: [email protected]  Superior Canine Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/superiorcanineinc  Superior Canine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/superiorcanineinc/    Train Hard, train smart, be safe.   Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
