Consider this....

" Dogs gain reward from engaging in activities and behaviours that bring them reward (reinforcement). They are not working to please the handlers but performing the behaviours because it makes them feel good and they enjoy it."

Want to learn how to harness this powerful concept in your dog training?

My dog is aggressive...

"Fear is a very powerful emotion and can be easily learnt, so is often the cause of reactive behaviours (a so called aggressive response)."

From our Level 3: Learning, Motivation and Reinforcement course. Want to learn how to help owners understand their dog whilst helping the dog manage their emotions in the process? Get stuck into this course!

"How on earth do you talk about Dog Walking for 12 hours!?"

Student's response once they took the course:

"... the course is absolutely fantastic btw. I’ve done quite a few IMDT courses now, both online and in person. I didn’t expect too much from a dog walking course to be honest, but I was thoroughly impressed by the content and delivery. Incredibly comprehensive and well thought out."🤓

Proud of you!

A year ago today, after unexpectedly leaving two jobs, I found myself on the verge of something new. I'd been studying dog training for over a year, but The IMDT exam was still a big step. I was nervous but excited to prove myself and show what I’d learned!

Spoiler alert: I passed 🎉

Fast forward to today, and I’m running my own training center, working with amazing clients and their dogs, and loving every minute of it. The journey has been incredible, and I’m still learning something new every day. 💪🐕

FACT: As we always say, you need to be a good trainer to be a good behaviourist!

“The simple ‘hand touch’… one of the first things you probably learn as a new trainer; yet a really powerful tool for building up the relationship between dog and human, helping the human understand eye contact, timing and what reinforcers float their dog’s boat etc and building trust between the two”

Sharing the love... A question the IMDT Student Support Team are answering today:

HOW DO I REFERENCE SOMETHING I 'JUST KNOW'?
Remember that you are referencing the process. For example, Border Collies are known for chasing cars and bikes etc. This is something you 'just know' from experience. You now need to consider WHY Border Collies chase cars and bikes, and you can explain this by referring to their innate predatory motor pattern. They are herding dogs who naturally respond to movement. Therefore, you can support your statement by using a source that talks about predatory motor patterns, as this is the process behind the behaviour.
