How To Use Your Dog’s Favorite Reinforcements To Fix Unwanted Inadvertent Behaviors #257
Visit us at shapedbydog.com Have you ever wondered how to fix your dog’s unwanted behavior when you want to train with positive reinforcement? In episode 256, I covered the magic question, "What was that cookie for?" that helps us all understand how we may be contributing to the behaviors of our dogs that we want to change. So, I’m following up with my top tips on turning things around. The very good news is that the formula I use to get everything back on track is easy to apply to any inadvertent behavior problem you'd like to change. In this episode you’ll hear: • How unintentional reinforcement contributes to unwanted behaviors. • Why our awareness is the start of fixing unwanted behaviors. • That permission, access and what your dog loves are powerful reinforcements. • Real life examples showing what the cookie was for! • Why to check with your Vet before assuming a behavioral problem. • Three ways dogs get educated. • How using the ‘Training Triage’ keeps dogs safe and what to do next. • The formula for triaging your dog's behavior. • The effectiveness of games in dog training. • The role of play in speeding up the learning process. • Challenges associated with low intentional learning and high unintentional reinforcement. • Addressing the belief that reinforcement-based training doesn't work. • How to join Recallers at a discounted rate.

What Was That Cookie For?! When Positive Reinforcement In Dog Training Goes Wrong #256
Visit us at shapedbydog.com With the growing popularity of positive reinforcement-based dog training, there's an increasing popularity of criticizing the use of positive reinforcement. And truthfully, it isn't all unfounded because there can be a huge variability in people's results when they choose not to use physical corrections or verbal intimidation in their dog training. I’m addressing the criticism with a look at 5 different scenarios where dogs get rewarded for things you don’t want, and how using the magic question “what was that cookie for?” can fast track success and turn unwanted behaviors around. In this episode you’ll hear: • The growing popularity and criticism of positive reinforcement in dog training. • What variables affect the effectiveness in dog training. • The pivotal question that can transform your approach to dog training. • What “choice point” is in dog training. • Five scenarios illustrating different reinforcement situations and their implications. • What the 5 categories of reinforcements are and knowing what your dog loves. • The impact of reinforcement on both the dog's behavior and the trainer's actions. • Why negative reinforcement is the silent killer of dreams. • How to be intentional, clear, and purposeful when reinforcing desired behaviors. • About asking the magic question “what was that cookie for?”.

Should We All Stop Using Non-Reward Markers In Dog Training? #251
Visit us at shapedbydog.com Non-Reward Markers have long been used in dog training, but are they really necessary? And what drives our choice to use an NRM? An NRM, sometimes called a No Reward Marker, could be a word people use to freeze a dog from making a poor choice during training or even be something like, “ah”, “no”, “hey”, “stop”. I’m covering how things have changed for me and the use of Non-Reward Markers over the years and what we can do instead. In this episode you’ll hear: • Why to consider the balance of compassion and ambition. • About the impact of using non-reward markers in dog training. • Why to use the ABC model to create clarity for dogs. • Personal experiences with my dogs over the years. • Why manipulating the environment sets dogs up for shaping success. • How making a small shift in dog training prevents frustration. • Why to play the "Muffin Tin Game" and how it encourages dogs to offer behaviors. • About considering experimental design and set up.

Expectations Vs Reality: Navigating The Path To Dog Training Success #250
Visit us at shapedbydog.com Recently something happened in my own dog training that I’m sharing in this episode, and it’s all about our expectations of our dogs. Along with our expectations, our beliefs and biases play a role in our relationship with our dogs. We’re all bombarded with unrealistic expectations about dogs daily, so challenging what we think with curiosity can be a fast track to dog training success. Realistic expectations will bring us closer to our dogs, and help them be less frustrated and happier. In this episode you’ll hear: • The role of expectations in relationships. • About unrealistic expectations in dog training. • How personal biases are shaped. • My revelation during a training session with my puppy, Prophet. • Why curiosity over disappointment is important in dog training. • About setting up an environment for success. • The shift from expecting perfection to embracing curiosity. • Why we need to manage our expectations. • About questioning our personal biases in dog training.
