My Dog has Class!
July 13th, 2011Dog Training principles
June 16th, 2010Ignore, or redirect, the behaviors you do not want,
reward the behaviors you do want.
Example:
Dog jumps up
Turn away and ignore
When 4 paws are on the floor
REWARD (the step most missed):: REPEAT ::
Dog is seen eyeing the chair leg….
Uh Oh!
Rover, come here (redirect)
Here is a nylabone
chew, chew
Good BOY! Pet, pet, pet.:: REPEAT ::
Dogs can’t watch TV, go to school, or talk to their friends. They only know of the world what you teach them.
What a dog knows as safe, is safe.
What a dog doesn’t know, is assumed to be NOT safe.
