Fabulous write up from the famous Jane Arden about reward based training 👏

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BFgiMjG8C/?

If you start your training journey with reward based training you might suck at first, and that's pretty normal for most new skills we learn. It doesn't mean it doesn't work, it just means you suck at it......but with practise you will get better and you may even become a reinforcement based ninja 🥷

Your dog will love you for it. ❤️

If you use positive reinforcement to train your dog you will become skilled at using positive reinforcement and when you come across that dog that it doesn't seem to be working with you don't resort to punishment. You talk to your other reward based trainers and someone will have a solution or you work through finding one yourself and in turn you get better and more skilled at it

It's absolutely not just about treats and harnesses. That's what it appears to be to the untrained eye of those who don't use it or understand it fully.

It goes way beyond operant conditioning because when we are working with a dog with big emotions operant conditioning often doesn't happen.

We use neuroscience, we look at emotions and conditioning. We use intrinsic reinforcement and neurochemistry as reinforcement, we use premack. Our tool box of rewards contains much more than cheese 🧀 and a harness 🦮

My goal in training is to use as little aversives as possible and I absolutely love finding better ways to train dogs with reward based training 🐾🐾

Teaching Puppies to Settle: Why It Matters

A dog that can settle is a dog that can learn! Teaching young dogs to relax on cue isn’t just about good manners, it’s about emotional regulation, focus, and resilience. A well-settled dog can handle distractions, wait patiently, and transition smoothly between work and rest.

Whether it’s scent detection, obedience, or just being a great companion, settling is a life skill. Start early, reward calmness, and watch your pup thrive!

Dachshunds were born to sniff!
Originally bred to hunt badgers, their incredible noses and determination make them naturals at scent work. Engaging their natural instincts through a scent class is a fantastic way to challenge their minds, keep them active, and strengthen your bond.

If you’ve got a Dachshund, why not let them do what they love best?
Sign up for a scent class today and watch their joy as they follow their nose!

Sadly the beautiful rescue Mango I’ve been working with passed away after a nasty epileptic episode. He was so lucky to have had such a wonderful time with his new owner who put so much work into him. Always such a devastating blow to lose a dog you’ve worked with for many sessions.
