Environmental Training

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

The importance of proper exposure training.
Paying attention to fear periods in puppies and dogs.
Systematic desensitization as a form of introduction and controlling the variables of the desensitization process.
The process of exposure and how it is more effective and efficient.
The process of passive desensitization.

Key Takeaways:

You don't want to create phobias from a young age or create something that they can't overcome from a severe fright.
If you have a dog with no experience with something, you are in a better place than with a dog who has multiple negative associations and has a learned avoidance response.
Go slow. There is a cost to rushing the desensitization training.
Short, multiple sessions progress without flooding the dog and creating phobias.
Have a plan, execute the plan, make sure it is a good plan.

"All training has to have a plan - there has to be an object that we are trying to achieve." — Jerry Bradshaw
