The Hidden World Of Reinforcement For Dogs And Why You Need To Know

The Hidden World Of Reinforcement For Dogs And Why You Need To Know

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    To become great at reinforcement-based dog training, you have to get great at the use of reinforcement. I’m covering the hidden world of reinforcers for dogs and why to know the what, when, where and who of reinforcement. It goes well beyond the use of training treats and toy rewards. Awareness of everything reinforcing gives exponential ways to multiply the value of reinforcement in your dog training and to understand your dog's behavior.   In the episode you'll hear:   • How to identify your dog’s hidden reinforcers and leverage them to your advantage. • The clear definition of what reinforcement truly is. • Examples of what a dog finds reinforcing and the influence of when, where and with whom it’s experienced. • How different conditions can multiply or nullify the value of a reinforcer. • When water makes a great reinforcer and a tip to increase its value when appropriate. • That you don’t need super high value reinforcement every time you train. • How interaction and your body language reinforces your dog. • What you need to know about negative reinforcement for unwanted behaviors. • Why the things that lead to dogs chasing are reinforcing. • Types of destructive and productive activities dogs find rewarding. • That where you train, and the conditions greatly impact your training success. • Why every distraction outside of fear is reinforcing to your dog. • Why movement, like a flirt pole, is sometimes better than food rewards around distractions. • What to use to your advantage to create more value for reinforcements when training.   Resources:   1.

Reactive, Unmotivated and Fearful: Finding Resiliency For This! Beyond Dog Training Part 1 #203

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    Over the past couple of years, I’ve documented many challenges my dog This! and I have overcome, like reactivity, fear, resource guarding, and car sickness, to name a few behavior issues. And then, at an agility seminar here at my facility, This! fell apart. Now it’s time to put everything together. I have a two-part series outlining a timeline of This!’s struggles and what I’ve discovered to help her and any other dogs.   In the episode you'll hear:   • How This! falling apart at an agility seminar was a symptom of a larger problem. • Why you can’t dog train something that isn’t a dog training problem. • The origins of This!’s name and that there are no coincidences. • What I began noticing about This!’s body mechanics early in puppyhood. • That This! only showed true drive for activities of adrenaline like chasing. • About the reactivity, resource guarding, car sickness, stunted growth, and joylessness experienced by This!. • How anything involving thinking for This! led to her decompressing for hours. • Why my only focus for This! became her joy. • How a naturopath came into my life to help me help This!. • About This!’s growth stall relative to her littermates. • What agility jump grids help us notice in our agility dogs. • This!’s immediate performance improvement after nutritional changes.   Resources:   1.
