Training Tips

TRAINING FOR A BETTER RELATIONSHIP

The relationship you build with your dog should be the main focus of any training program. When teaching something new, if your dog is failing repeatedly here are 6 steps to remember.

1.Take a training step back to something a little easier where he was successful.

2. Your dog should succeed at a specific behavior at least 80% of the time before you ask for something additional. For example, say your dog does a perfect stay for 30 seconds but then you move the duration up to a minute and a half with poor results. Go back to the 30 second stay, and when you have consistent success, raise it to 45 seconds, and then 60, etc, with success at each step before moving on.

3. Be sure to highly reward positive outcomes consistently and ignore mistakes.
