”People who do not know their past cannot control their present, and are not ready to build for the future." This was stated by our war veteran, infantry general, and Mannerheim Cross knight Adolf Erik Ehrnrooth.

Today, we must turn our gaze to the past. To those brave men and women who made the greatest sacrifice for this country. We must never forget who is responsible for us being here, in a free and independent Finland. Honor to those to whom it is due.

Happy Independence Day Finland!

Dopamine: The Key to Unlocking Your Dog’s Potential in Training
Are you struggling to train your dog? Do traditional methods like punishment and scolding need to be fixed? Maybe it’s time to try a different approach. Positive reinforcement training, which focuses on rewarding good behavior, has become increasingly popular in recent years. And for a good reason – it’s effective! But did you know that dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain, plays a crucial role in this type of training?

Dopamine is involved in the regulation of various physiological and psychological functions, but it is best known for its role in reward and motivation. When we experience something rewarding, like eating our favorite food or getting a compliment, dopamine is released in our brains. This release of dopamine reinforces the behavior that led to the reward, making it more likely that we will repeat the behavior in the future.

The same principle applies to dog training. When a dog receives a reward, like a treat or a toy, dopamine is released in its brain. This release of dopamine reinforces the behavior that led to the reward, making it more likely that the dog will repeat the behavior in the future. Positive reinforcement training is effective because it leverages this natural reward system to encourage desired behaviors.

But dopamine is not just involved in positive reinforcement training. It also plays a role in negative reinforcement training, which involves removing an unpleasant stimulus when the dog performs a desired behavior. For example, if a dog is trained to come when called, the unpleasant stimulus of being on a leash can be removed when the dog complies. This removal of the unpleasant stimulus reinforces the behavior and makes it more likely that the dog will come when called in the future.

Studies have shown that both positive and negative reinforcement can lead to an increase in dopamine release in dogs. And while positive reinforcement training has gained popularity in recent years, it’s important to remember that negative reinforcement training can also be effective when used properly.

In conclusion, dopamine is a powerful tool in dog training. Positive reinforcement training can activate the reward and motivation pathways in your dog’s brain, making it more likely to repeat desired behaviors. Negative reinforcement training can also be effective in reinforcing desired behaviors. By understanding the role of dopamine in dog training, you can develop a training program that works for you and your dog.

Hyvä muistutus 🙏

The first conversation we have with a new training client often goes something like this “My dog is uncontrollable. He tears up my furniture, eats off the counters, and constantly jumps on people. I’m sure it’s partly my fault but I don’t know what to do.” I’ve grown accustomed to the confused and somewhat offended look I get when I tell them “Your dog is not uncontrollable, it’s uncontrolled. And it’s not partly your fault, it’s entirely your fault.”
Let me say that again: Everything your dog does wrong is your own fault. Let it sink in. Your dog destroyed the couch? You shouldn’t have left her out while you were away from the house. Your dog tore up your shoes while you were cooking dinner? You should have known he wasn’t ready for that level of freedom and shouldn’t have allowed him out of your sight long enough to do it. Your dog peed on the floor? You should have noticed the signs that she needed to go and let her outside ahead of time. Your dog bites a stranger? You shouldn’t have let a stranger approach your dog. Dog takes off chasing a squirrel and won’t come back? You should have had it on a leash or taken the time to train a more reliable recall. If the problem is training related, you need to be a better trainer. If the problem is behaviour related, you need to be better at managing bad behaviour.
This is not to denigrate any individual dog owner, but to encourage the adoption of a new mindset. Dogs do dog s**t. It’s our job as humans to teach them what is and is not acceptable behaviour in the world that we live in. By owning our dogs’ failures as our own, we become less likely to put our dogs in the position to fail in the first place. Happy training 🙂
