Protection Equipment Failure

Clarification on a section of the episode: When I mentioned Bagram, Afghanistan. I was a contractor with a company called AMK9. When I went to Bagram, the compound we were assigned to on the base, was small. Bagram, the base itself, hasn’t been a “small compound” in probably a LONG time.

A listener asked about her PTSD affecting her dogs (Not her Service Dogs)

🚨Controversial Topic Alert 🚨 I have seen this backfire more than once. Educate yourself before making this decision or encourage others to make this decision.

Here I will go over the topic of “fixing” or “rehabbing” aggression.

In this episode I address the common saying that all aggression is rooted in fear.

Reactive? Aggressive? Why do dogs act aggressively?? In this episode I go over this very misunderstood topic!

This episode goes over what type of working dog should a first time handler get.

In this episode I talk about some of the worst “corrections” I have witnessed and the two types of crank and yankers.

Dogs are very adaptable and resilient to extreme weather conditions. What happened to us??

Dogs, much like people and many other animals, have very unique personalities that are a combination of genetic traits, breed characteristics and environment.

When to use and when NOT to use. What it does and what it does NOT. Bark collars can be a useful tool but it can also be extremely detrimental if not understood and used without knowing the right application.

There are other techniques to address this so please make sure you understand how every technique applies to your individual dog and goals. For the video version of this episode go to the YouTube channel https://youtu.be/EnD8_eQ781o

In this episode I go over how genetics influence drive in working dogs.

In this episode I discuss the difference between Sport Protection and “Real” Protection. Here’s the thing, it’s not about which dog is better, it’s more complicated than that. It’s about the temperament of the dog, how much preparation in different scenarios each dogs has had, etc.

(Video on YouTube) I have been very fortunate to have had the privilege to help develop several puppies in the last few years. I have learned several valuable lessons through experience and good mentors. With the proper selection of the dog, plus a few solid basic concepts, most green dogs will do decent. Bitework training for young dogs is about the forming of good habits, not defense work or real life scenarios.

Part 2 to Episode 6. This episode contains additional questions we did not get to address during the consultation.

Fan submitted. In this episode I answer a question regarding which type of puppy should a client get and why. Two puppies, one pray drivey and the other not so much.

In this short episode I cover the best way to speak to clients and why.

Operant Conditioning and the quadrants can be confusing, but if you take the emotion out of it and see it as a mathematical equation, it suddenly becomes much more logical. Remember to subscribe and follow on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!

“Should she be crated most of the time” “Should I do Bitework with my own dog?” “Will obedience training inhibit his Bitework?” In this episode I talked to a first time Malinois owner and answer some of his questions and address some common sayings about raising working dogs and how they originated. Shoutout and mentions to many great dog trainers like Bart Bellon, Jerry Bradshaw, Dave Kroyer and a few more!

“You know better”, “Why did you do that?” Are just some of the things we say when our dogs don’t do as they’re instructed. In this episode I relate an experience I had recently to a common phenomenon in dog behavior.

This is a continuation of the previous episode on resource guarding. Please listen to that one first so this episode makes more sense to you. As usual, make sure you consult with a more experienced dog trainer if you need assistance with potentially dangerous behaviors.

In this short episode I break down Resource Guarding and why it’s a perfectly normal behavior, as well as how to address it. (Never attempt to address potentially dangerous behaviors without the supervision of a professional)

In this episode I talk about learning as the most basic function to improve a current situation; and how toddlers, and every other animal go through the same process.
