Fixing Grip Issues in Sport and Police Dogs

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

How the grip can vary depending on the sport you're training for.
What it means to have a bad grip and why different ways bad grip may manifest.
Teaching your dog to be unsatisfied with any bite that is not at the back of the mouth.
Teaching the basic fundamentals from a young age, including social interaction and teaching the dog to work with other trainers.
Taking the proper time through progressions and not pushing too hard too fast.

Key Takeaways:

A firm grip is more important than a calm grip. We want the dog to default to a full grip, all the way back to the back teeth.
Genetics provides a capacity, but the training can enhance or ruin what the genetics are bringing to the table.
Give your dog something challenging to bite. A lot of busy grips come from a failure to challenge the grip and give the dog something they can bite successfully.
Challenging the grip is one of the most important things you can do as you go through your training progressions.

"The firmness, the fullness, the hardness, those are the things that really determine the grip." — Jerry Bradshaw
