    This is by far one of the best discussions any handler or K9 trainer can listen too. The in depth knowledge by Armin and Jay can only benefit you. Armin Winkler is a founding father to police and military dog training.

    Please make a new podcast here in 2024 with Armin and Jay. In fact Armin should have his own channel or podcast he’s got far too much history and information to let die. Please bring him back.

  • Thank you!

    Thank you for what you do for our community! I listen to a lot of K9 podcasts, but many of them are just banter and not skill building advice. I am beholden to the 9th circus and appreciate you helping us navigate their waters.

    I am a police supervisor and recently found this podcast and listened to the last four episodes one after the other while working in my yard. You guys do a great job selecting guests and allowing them to provide great information. I really like when you ask the guests to explain exactly what they talking about in specific training scenarios!

    Thank you! Keep it up!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Foundation to Street with Michael Ellis
Q: How should tone be used with dogs in training, especially with recall and releases?
Treat tone as a conditioned punisher and as a recall cue, but consider separating cue types to avoid confusion; ensure the dog understands the tone as a signal to return and separately learn the proper release behavior.
Foundation to Street with Michael Ellis
Q: What are the fundamental concepts a new handler should grasp?
Focus on developing physical skills, timing, and learning to break behavior into components; avoid getting bogged down in theory early; practice consistency and follow-through before chasing every new idea.
