โฉ 1. you ๐๐๐ train a decent recall with positive reinforcement โฉ 2. you ๐๐๐ coach nice loose leash walking with a harness โฉ 3. you ๐๐๐ teach an old dog new tricks โฉ Foster Boi has gone from rural pound dog ~ dream pet dog in 3 months by spending just a few minutes training per day + (and this is the part you really want to pay attention to) a bunch of other considerations ๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐ the simple cue>behaviour>consequence sequence you see here โฉ every dog is different & training will vary depending on the individual ~ but I wanted to show what 3 months of holistic dog care can do: focusing ๐๐๐๐ on outlets, enrichment, nutrition, relationship building, environmental management, physical & mental stimulation ~ and ๐๐๐๐ on training โฉ #MythBusting

โฉ long distance reinforcement โฉ rewarding your dog for good behaviour doesnโt always have to come in the form of a treat at your side, you can use lots of other things to reinforce your dog too โฉ this guys LUFFS chasies & zoomies โฉ so I rewarded a lovely check in from him by initiating one of his fave games & chiming in {when I could keep up} โฉ we both had a fun time & I got a free workout ๐ โฉ #reinforcementdrivesbehavior
โฉ for anyone who has heard me banging on about โchoice & controlโ in training, this post sums it up beautifully from some of the best minds in the industry โฉ control is a primary reinforcer, an animal will work to access it they same as they would food, water, shelter etc โฉ thank you @dogminded for the wonderful post, & thank you Tilly for teaching us something so important today โฉ #๐๐ฝ
Posted @withregram โข @dogminded โReinforcement is informationโitโs information about what you are doing that is working. If we have information about how to get the environment to reinforce us, then we control our environment; we are no longer at its mercy. Indeed, our evolutionary fitness to some extent depends on such success. So subjects like to learn through reinforcement not for the obvious reasonโto get food or other rewardsโbut because they actually get some control over what is happening.โ - Karen Pryor.
โBehavior is to operate on the environment. Behavior is the mechanism by which we control.โ - Dr. Susan Friedman
What may seem like a small step is actually the foundation of what every living being requiresโcontrol over our environment. Being able to use our behavior effectively to bring about desirable outcomes is to have control.
Tilly is a beautiful and resilient soul whoโs been through a lot in her short life and who with the help of her wonderful people is learning to feel safe.
I love this session for many reasons. Tilly is in a space where she feels safe and her person is gladly meeting her there. Thereโs clarity in the cueing and reinforcement delivery. And Tilly is engaged and offering the nose target fluently and without delay.
Sheโs learning that her behavior makes good things happen. How beautiful is that?
Many thanks to @weslikesnipes for letting me share this snippet from our class. Iโm so glad Tilly is home with you โค๏ธ
