Mechanics and Applications of Drive Capping
In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:
-
Obedience and capping in drive.
-
Leveraging reward systems and using queues in drive to prepare for capping.
-
Utilizing different tools and training progressions to properly train drive.
-
Drive training with different canines.
Key Takeaways:
-
Suppressing the dog’s behavior is not obedience or capping because it isn’t channeling their energy into something. We don’t want to suppress - this creates behaviors we do not want.
-
Dogs that are dirty in their outings are struggling in their drive capping.
-
Don’t be scared of the expression - it should not make you nervous. But you want them to also be able to cap and be quiet. Neither should be sacrificed for the other.
-
Make sure to train your dogs in all situations and around decoys in full kit.
"If all we ever do when we're doing obedience on a dog is just suppress the hell out of them, then we're not doing obedience in drive, nor are we doing drive capping." — Jerry Bradshaw
