The Power of Training Dogs with Food DVD
Topics Covered in this DVD
- How to pick a place to train where your dog can concentrate. This is an important part of the learning process.
- How the rate of reinforcement affects focus and concentration.
- How movement and animation are your friend when training engagement.
- How to make rewards an “EVENT” as compared to just handing your dog a piece of food.
- The correct way to do restrained recalls with markers and how they help build engagement.
- What "muscle memory heeling" is and how to train it with puppies or older dogs.
- The length of a training session affects motivation levels. We will explain how a trainer knows when to stop engagement training and move on to training exercises and behaviors.
- This chapter also teaches the correct way to put focus on cue… with the “Watch or Look” command.
- And finally, during the engagement portion of Michael's training system the dog learns the concept of learning – by that we mean he is “learning to learn.” This is a critical part of the foundation of all dog training.
