Visit us at shapedbydog.com
If someone says to you that they are a reinforcement-based dog trainer, what does that really mean? There are a lot of ways of training dogs with food or toys. Even though they fall under the reinforcement grouping, the different types of training are all dramatically different. We’re covering what I tried in the past, what I suggest you avoid, and the most effective way to shape your dog.
In the episode you'll hear:
• About training dogs by luring and using food or toys as a lure.
• What's termed observational learning or social learning, or sometimes modelling.
• About Stella the Kelpie and Bunny the Sheepadoodle using buttons to communicate.
• Some of the words that dogs understand and words that excite my dogs.
• What capturing behavior means and how to get a captured behavior like a stretch or talking.
• About shaping, and the critical difference between two styles used to shape a behavior.
• The reason I don't free shape these days and prefer layered shaping.
• How to make the correct choice for the dog the obvious choice.
• Why splitting behaviours down creates confidence for dogs and give you a strong foundation.
