Changing Canine Behavior

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

The themes of changing canine behavior.
The genetic and learned aspects of behavior.
Understanding counterconditioning and training mutually exclusive behaviors and systematic desensitization.
Making systematic and planned changes and training scenarios.
Having a strategy to deal with problem behaviors.

Key Takeaways:

At the heart of a lot of behavioral problems, you will find communication issues that need to be addressed.
Space is everything to a dog, especially in our very confined modern society.
Changing canine behavior is going to take commitment and consistency.
Don't teach a dog anything you don't want him to do. Don't let him learn to do the behavior you don't want him to do.
A dog is going to repeat a behavior where that behavior is rewarded and is successful

"We have to be really cognizant of the animal's state of mind to make sure that we are doing the right thing in order to change behavior and not simply to suspend the dog's reaction until such time as the dog feels that reaction can explode forth." — Jerry Bradshaw
