This course is carefully designed to achieve three goals in dog training. First, a thorough understanding of the science behind teaching commands and behaviors. Second, it helps you develop your skills as a handler and trainer. Third, it enhances your relationship with your dog, giving you ultimate control on or off-leash. We cover equipment, food preparation, and “environmental difficulty assessment” to help your dog perform even in high-distraction environments. You’ll learn to avoid common mistakes, get your dog to perform without visible rewards, and achieve advanced positions using multiple methods. Advanced luring techniques allow you to teach any behavior, and leash cues provide an additional communication channel, enhancing reliability and performance. We delve into classical and operant conditioning to maximize training results. Understanding three critical events in dog training simplifies the process, making it easier to implement. The course also includes foundational work for a focused heel, two versions of loose leash walking, and the stay command in all positions. We introduce and implement corrections using a leash, collar, and remote training collar. This comprehensive course is your key to the well-behaved dog you always wanted.
