Low Profile Equipment
Episode 150
Thursday, 18 December, 2025
In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: Bridging the gap from training to deployment with low-profile equipment. Comparing traditional and modern low-profile equipment. Mistakes to avoid with low-profile equipment. Importance of having properly fitted equipment. Training progressions with low-profile equipment. Key Takeaways: Ideally, low-profile equipment contains both lower visibility and lower odor profiles. It is critical for the dog to feel the human underneath the equipment. While you should have protection, training the dog to find the human is also important. If a dog can't be satisfied with the bite they are getting on a suit, they may look for the human underneath and bite outside of the typical areas, such as ankles, which can cause more harm. Use training techniques like equipment shredding drills to improve the dog's ability to find and get a successful bite. "When we're introducing the hidden equipment, usually we want to introduce it in such a way that we can maximize the dog's experience, including having them in the right mood that we want them in when they're experiencing this hidden equipment. We also want to have decoy safety." — Jerry Bradshaw Episode References: Josh Kirby at Kirby K9 / Demanet: www.k9irby.com Thad Peterson at Seynaeve US: www.seynaeve.us & www.ringsuits.com Dog Armour: www.DogArmour.com More information on the Kynology Seminar with Dr. Stewart Hilliard: https://kynology.org/ Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training: www.tarheelcanine.com YouTube: tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon: patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/ Tarheel Canine Student Portal: https://tcstudentportal.com/ Sponsors: ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com The Drive Company: https://thedriveco.com/ The Drive Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedrive.co Dog Armour: http://www.dogarmour.com/ Rogue Arsenal: https://roguearsenal.com/ Find out more about Hold The Line Conference 2026 at https://htlk9.com/ Train Hard, train smart, be safe.
