In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

Being suspect of always or never statements in training.
The art of prey guarding.
Laying your own tracks.
The downsides to canine demos.

Key Takeaways:

By saying you never do defense work with puppies, you erase an entire section of training 2457
On any given track, you will have a combination of human odor and ground disturbance. How much of each will be different depending on the type of track.
There can be benefits to laying your own tracks, including the ability to lay more tracks than you might be able to otherwise.
You can never predict other people's behavior - if you are doing a demo, you want to treat your dog like any other piece of equipment like your gun or your car.

"Back when I was an academic, we used to tell students, if you see in a question 'always' or 'never' be suspect of what's being said, because there are usually exceptions to rules. And especially in dog training, there's usually some exceptions." — Jerry Bradshaw
