    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!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Handler Aggression - Engagement - Equipment Fixation - Detection - Its Mailbag!
Q: How should I balance play or toy rewards in bite work without building conflict or equipment fixation?
Balancing play and toy rewards involves understanding that dogs may start with equipment fixation, but the goal is to transition the dog's focus onto the handler and not the equipment. Effective training practices are necessary to manage this balance.
Handler Aggression - Engagement - Equipment Fixation - Detection - Its Mailbag!
Q: What are today's best practices for decoy selection and skills?
A good decoy knows how to read the dog and channel its drive effectively. Communication between the decoy and the dog is essential, with skilled decoys using their body posture and tone to create a better training environment.
Handler Aggression - Engagement - Equipment Fixation - Detection - Its Mailbag!
