RAISING THE BAR IN DOG TRAINING. DVD SET
by Ian Dunbar £21.00 3 DVD Set. Running Time 4 hours 15 minutes.Seminar Recording. As pet dog training evolved as a separate field from obedience, training techniques became more user-friendly and dog-friendly but performance reliability and precision took a nose-dive. To produce a precise and reliable performance, a comprehensive training program comprises five stages: 1. Teaching dogs what we want them to do 2. Teaching dogs to want to do what we want them to do 3. Enforcing compliance without fear, force, or pain 4. Refining performance precision and pizzazz 5. Protecting performance reliability and precision. The first three steps focus on establishing verbal, off-leash (distance) response-reliability and are all-important in all fields of dog training. The last two steps — refining precision, and protecting precision and reliability — are primarily for obedience, working, and demo dogs . Lure/Reward training is by far the quickest way to teach dogs the meaning of our instructions. Dogs need to be motivated to want to comply, by replacing teaching rewards (usually food) with life rewards and eventually, with auto-reinforcement. Verbal, off-leash, remote response-reliability may be effectively enforced without fear or force — The Lost Force in Dog Training. Punishment is essential for response-reliability, but punishment need not be physical, painful, scary, aversive, or unpleasant. However, regardless of the frequency and specific nature of punishment, an essential ingredient of any comprehensive training plan is to consider, “What to do when Plan A fails?” What to do when the dog dashes out of the front door and into the street to chase a boy on a skateboard ? What is your Plan B and Plan C? For the dog’s safety, compliance must be enforced to raise response-reliability to 95% within two seconds of a single verbal command and to 100% following Plan B or C.
