Everyone say hello to Brigus! 👋
This handsome pup recently joined us for an initial consultation to work on his reactivity and we’re so excited to be a part of his training journey.
Something we discuss with all of our behaviour clients is the importance of MANAGEMENT while we work towards changing our dogs behaviour.
In dog training management refers to setting the environment up to prevent unwanted behaviours before they happen. Think things like baby gates or leashes to prevent jumping, or window film to prevent barking at things passing by.
The example I often give clients is for dogs who bark out the window because they want things to go away. The postman comes up to drop off a package, meanwhile your dog is barking in the window, they drop off the package and head on their way. For fearful dogs, the barking is often tied to the person leaving, meaning our dogs think that their barking made the person leave. So the next time someone walks up, the barking continues, the person moves on and the behaviour becomes stronger.
Management is all about reducing the behaviours we are trying to change, because after all the more our dogs get to successfully practice something the better they get at it.
With good management we’re able to create more moments of success, so that the learning process is faster, smoother and less stressful for everyone involved. 💙
