Dog Selection, Detection Progression, & Handler Skills

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

The most important foundation skills as a handler and foundation exercises for your canine.
Phase progression during tracks, including lengths and food rewards.
What to look for and deal breakers in green dogs.
Being creative in your hides during training.

Key Takeaways:

Canned food on a tract will blend in better to the ground than the hotdogs. It can also be more enticing to young dogs.
Know what you are willing to give up, that may be able to be taught, and what are traits that you don't want to give up on when you are choosing a dog.
See the dog both in and out of drive if possible when you are making your dog selection.
Height and depth can be two sides of the same coin when you're hunting. If the dog can't get to the source, you may have to check other indication behaviors of the dog instead of their traditional alert.

"What is important for one dog might be a little bit less important for another dog. You really have to think about the particular dog you're working with when you're trying to identify what might be most important or less important." — Jerry Bradshaw
