Training Without Conflict® | Dog Training Podcast · Episode Fifty-Eight: Jan Van Maren · 22 Apr 2025 podcast

There just needs to be a fight. And, well, as earlier mentioned, we need to get mean again. Yeah. We need to search the dog. We need to step into the dog. And, well, who gives a shit if you give the stick pressure and you touch the dog by... by accident?

Well, yeah. When we teach helpers for a long bite, we also always say, okay, you stand on both feet next to each other, put the sleeve in front of you with some air in between the sleeve and the body and just catch it. And, well, that's a good thing, but... The step after that part is put your wrong foot in front of you and just step with your other foot in and create the same thing.

And stepping back in the catching, it gives also too much space for the helper to turn it out. Because if you step into the dog and the dog is coming into the sleeve, you have much more momentum to get the dog to the ground again. So you're stronger. the nature is going to be with you.

So then you can put the dog on the ground and give pressure way earlier than stepping backwards and need to make a whole circle to manage it for having the dog on the ground.

Yeah, if you recognize that kind of things and if you're stable enough in the head, you should... Getting less fast to the dog.

Yeah, so not speed up. Because if you're going to speed up as helper, then... Well, then you're hiding that kind of things. And that's very valuable for a judge to see. So take the speed back and push more. More threat in front of the dog. So you expose it. Yes, and in the most circumstances, you don't even have to turn it out.

Because if the dog doesn't have any speed, why should you make a turn? Yeah, very good point. So the dog is coming on the sleeve. We want to chase that dog away because that dog is not good enough at that moment. So we take it on the body.

There's no need. And the same thing with the attack out of back transport. I almost see no helper anymore.

that that is running into the dog with a lot of pressure and a lot of them making a full 360 turn for no reason yes no reason no it's it's running in dog is on the sleeve directly going in the pressure phase that's how a proper attack out of that transport because if you if you for no reason have to do this it's prey drive then

But, well, it's easy to talk, of course, from the sideline now.

Um, well,

I don't think that. By time to time, I like to see if helpers are sometimes getting a little bit too far in things. Of course, The helper must be able to do things. Right. That's the beginning of everything. You need to be able of doing your technical things before making pressure. Because if you have a lot of technique and no pressure, that's no fight.

But if you have a lot of pressure and no technique, it's chaos.

the mentality of the helper. How hard does he want to work for it? If the technique is there, of course, the moment of presenting the sleeve, the movement of the sleeve, the position of the wedge. And that kind of that is very, very important.

You start with giving them a lot of time, of course, and the further you go, you make the exercises more difficult, more difficult, giving them less time to to present the sleeve. But because you're doing it with a lot of repetitions, they are going They are going to make sure that it's going to be okay. So they are checking it and kind of things.

Yes, they need to have. Because still, it's contact sport. So things can go wrong also very easy. So they must build the confidence that they can handle it.

I like...

I really like the short part. Yeah. Because it's very physical. You have more interaction. Yeah. And it's more physical. It's always going to hurt somewhere. And yeah. Yeah, I really like the short part. But with the long bite, I really like the concentration before it all happening.

And the catching, yeah, it's nice to catch correctly and stuff, but the realization all in front of that, so coming out of the blind, make the turn, and that whole time before the dog arrives, that's also very... The presence, I'm right here. Yeah. Come. That's almost as beautiful as the catching itself.

Yes. At the end. Yes. To have the preparation and, well... Sometimes...
