Observations on Control Commands: Drive Capping

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: What drive capping is, what it means, and how it differs from pressuring the dog. The value in drive capping for police dogs. The importance of both the trainer and the decoy in drive capping training.  Training prerequisites for drive capping.      Key Takeaways: Training is a non-linear process. The further along you get, the more it changes up to direct the exact behaviors you want from the dog.  When training drive capping, you have to focus on rewarding and make it clear to the dog what their job is.  If a dog is too leaky during their capped state, it may lead to an early release by the dog. It is important the dog understands that they can be capped and be rewarded and can be expressive and can be rewarded.      "Drive capping usually means using obedience to move the dog from an expressive state where he might be barking or showing some act of aggression to a cap state where the aggression is contained, ready to be expressed." — 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.
