Course Details
This presentation will provide information and techniques to help you understand the importance of emotions when training behaviours and how those emotions in training can influence behaviour reliability.
We will look at building observational skills to identify the emotional experience your dog is having while learning and how to adapt and change criteria to hit working in that magical sweet spot that falls somewhere between too challenging and too boring.
We will also explore techniques on how to meet your dog's needs and maintain engagement when the environment becomes challenging for the dog.
