A magic day at the London Zoo with the trainers behind such successful training protocols. My personal view follows:
👉🏻 I can't wait for the day the Dog training community will have fully caught up with these training programs that don't favour fear inducing techniques to manage the animals.
👉🏻👉🏻 Arranging the environment and the humans cleverly so that animals' emotions and behaviours can be more relaxed, is a skill that can be learned.
👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻The better the trainer's knowledge of Behaviour science, the less the need to use physical manipulation. So forget those choke and electric collars!
💘 Thanks @zsllondonzoo, super Ryan and Jim 💘 you are amazing.

6 days, 800 cable ties, several meters of steel, black spray paint, and a fox guard later.... we have OUR NEW CATIOOOOOO 😍 Of course, without the help of my dear @dgwlane, who has welded it ON SITE, none of this could have happened. I had a vision, and this was exactly IT. I love it with all my heart, and the kitties can now have enrichment, bask in the sunshine, be safe from the road and their allergies (as much as they can!) 🥰

@priscillathealy has been doing all sorts of training with her little Buddy and I just love when she sends me videos of updates from what they have been up to! She trained this all by herself and it incorporates the Targeting behaviour (On the scale), the offered Sit from a very eager Buddy, some beautiful Eye contact, and a get off the scale behaviour with a promise of some scent work activated by the Find it cue. Great job Priscilla and Buddy! This is what "trust" looks like, positive reinforcement is reinforcing for the human, too! 🥰🥰🥰

#Repost @acanineaffinity Management and prevention of rehearsal of undesirable behaviors is training. I will die on this hill.
Our landscapers showed up a bit earlier than expected this morning and were right outside of the windows blowing leaves, something that can cause some arousal and barking from both dogs. I was in the middle of some work so I grabbed my treat jar (one in most rooms) and began a simple strategy
• Treat for loud sounds
• Treat for noticing sounds
• Treat for hanging out on the couch listening to sounds
Simple management and I was able to keep working, dogs didn’t get to thrown off and no heavy planning required. We have done this before of course, but even in a new situation the dogs know they can count on me to help them through sticky situations.
The beautiful thing about positive reinforcement is that even if it isn’t perfect the dogs will learn good things come in the face of a possibly scary situation and that’s important.
Management is training, so the next time someone claims you can’t teach your dog anything by avoiding stress by not leaving them alone or avoiding dogs or people or other scary situations just know they are incorrect.
Beautiful work Luna and Janet ❤️ 🥰 thanks @telegraph_hill_dog_training for the video and the help!
