Observations on Control Commands: Redirects, Recalls, and Out & Return

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: Understanding the progressions between redirects, recalls, and outs and returns.  Common mistakes made and how to correct them.  Avoiding unwanted stress, pressure, anticipation, and preferences during your training.  Repeated training and training more than what's in certification only.      Key Takeaways: Command discrimination is extremely important as it tells the dog what, exactly, you are wanting them to do.  You want to set the dog up for success when arranging the training sessions, including accounting for preferences that may skew their training results. Change up the training in some fashion when you start to see anticipation in your dog for the command.  If you want to build your control over your dog at distance, the e-collar can help you with that.      "It is really important to understand, before you get into this, what is that progression - going from two decoy redirects until you get that reflex action and start adding in the get to heal position as a bridge to reward bites so that we can build the out and return nicely, and then we can start doing recalls, and so forth." — 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.
