A Great Dog Takes a Lot of Training

laurelannpilkingto

Training Tuesday


I was working on something very specific with Flare and it became very clear that I have missed a key component of her training. She clearly did not understand how to systematically search something I asked her too.


She will do it with my hand presenting, which is not where I want her to be. So we go back to basics. Time to spend the time needed to not only decrease the threshold of odor she will respond too, but to also teach her to systematically search items until she either finds odor or I tell her she's done.


Great training is done in a loop where you analyze the information the dog is giving you, you THINK about what that information means, you PLAN out your training to teach the skills, then you DO it. And take data.


What fundamental skills are you working on?
