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.
