Keep The Food Bowl! Why Dogs Don’t Need 100% Hand Feeding #225

Keep The Food Bowl! Why Dogs Don’t Need 100% Hand Feeding #225

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    Dog training has its fads and one you might have heard is never feeding your dog from a bowl. This trend of feeding dogs exclusively by hand can get people into trouble. I believe that dogs should not have to earn the right to get fed. Today I’m explaining why at least part of your dog’s meals should come from a bowl, alternative feeding methods to enrich your dog, and powerful ways to reinforce your dog that don’t involve food.   In this episode you’ll hear:   • Why dogs should be at least partially bowl-fed. • Enrichment ideas for dogs using food. • What I wrote in my book, Ruff Love. • Why I don’t advise hand feeding dogs only. • Why dogs need reassurance that food isn’t contingent on behavior. • Practical reasons why dogs should learn to eat from a bowl. • How hand feeding dogs only can backfire. • Other ways to reinforce your dog without food. • Why to keep an eye on your dog’s weight.   Resources:   1.

Unleashing Fluency In Dog Training: Cracking The Canine Communication Code #224

Unleashing Fluency In Dog Training: Cracking The Canine Communication Code #224

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    Before my recent episode on latency in dog training, we took a social media poll on cue response times. 62% of people thought their dogs responded too slow. So, to help, this episode covers all the elements that create fluent behavior and what’s truly behind a dog’s response time to a cue. One of the most significant elements can be what we believe to be true about dogs. We’re also looking at the difference between true fluency and a dog's good grasp of a behavior.   In this episode you’ll hear:   • Why people often mistake partial understanding of a behavior for fluency. • What I mean by generalizing a dog’s behavior to all contexts. • About training my “high” Border Collie, Buzz, for agility. • How to create enthusiasm and joy in your dog for behaviors. • My six criteria for dog behavior fluency. • Why instilling joy is always the first step in dog training. • That “will” is a function of skill and environment. • That our beliefs are not truths but personal perceptions. • How we download and accept information from authority figures in our lives. • Why the beliefs and labels of others aren’t your truths. • Why I stopped giving dogs “time outs” over a decade ago. • Why I think I’ve been successful at positive reinforcement dog training. • What to do when frustration, anger, or disappointment sets in with your dog. • That dogs aren’t mad or spiteful when acting out, they’re dysregulated. • About fright, flight, freeze, or please reactions to stressors. • The questions to ask yourself when toxic thoughts or emotions arise. • Why we need to teach dogs from a place of environmental success in layers of joy. • My steps for releasing limiting beliefs and toxic thinking.   Handling360 or Home School the Dog: Write to us at wag@dogsthat.com with the subject line: Belief Change   Resources:   1.

Get Your Dog To Respond Faster: Latency In Dog Training #222

Get Your Dog To Respond Faster: Latency In Dog Training #222

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    When you cue your dog to perform a behavior, do they respond with lightning speed or a leisurely pace? The lag time between your cue and your dog’s response is called latency. When I design a training plan for my dogs, latency is built in, because I want super fast responses to cues. We’re covering how why dogs might respond slowly and what you can do to fix it.   In the episode you'll hear:   • What you need to know about latency of behavior. • When to consider a dog’s behavior fluent. • Why dogs develop lag times between a cue and response. • What to consider if dogs are slow to respond. • How to leverage arousal states for focused and fast behaviors. • Common mistakes people make that create lag time for dogs. • How to reduce latency with the example of a dog sitting at the door. • Why to take the problem away from the environment. • About using Jean Donaldson’s “Push, Stick or Drop” to reduce latency. • When to test the latency of a behavior in new habitats. • That fast responses generalize well to many behaviors.   Resources:   1.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    I’m sharing four case studies of dogs that overcame incredibly undesirable behaviors: a humper, a home wrecker, a screamer, and a dog-reactive dog.

One of these dogs was rehomed because he was so dysregulated – spoiler alert – there’s a twist you won’t want to miss!   In the episode you'll hear:   • Four case studies of dogs with dysregulated behavior. • Why over-excited dog humping is not a dominance display. • How to give dogs a better way to express their emotions vs. humping. • About a Golden Doodle with severe separation anxiety. • That not all separation anxiety is a learned behavior. • How nutrition, exercise, enrichment and empowered choice influence dog behavior. • The wrong ways dog owners employ enrichment toys. • Examples of co-regulation in helping dogs cope emotionally. • About the FRIDA protocol for dog separation anxiety. • About a rehomed rescue dog that destroyed all the furniture. • My strategy for helping a hyper-reactive dog overcome fear. • That you are your dog’s number one advocate regardless of others’ labels.   Resources:   1.
