Dog Training Tip

Luring, Molding and Shaping

Luring: As a first time trainer, it is generally easier to start with luring and other reward based training methods, where you use a favorite toy or food to help your dog into the position you are looking for (for example, if you hold a piece of food by a pups nose, and raise your hand slowly above the pups head, he should sit). The paramount to this, is that the dog will be thinking about the food or toy, and not what he is doing to learn the command.

Molding is where you use your hands or a leash to help the dog to perform the action or get in to position. This method is also easy for beginners, it is technically compulsion, but it can be done by gently stroking or blocking the dog from going forward which many people might not consider compulsion.

Compulsion is currently a dirty word which is being used synonymously with force to describe unacceptably harsh methods of training.

Shaping is where you use a clicker to mark a behavior your dog may perform naturally like a sit or a down, and once the dog is offering that behavior consistently, you can add the command (this is often referred to as free-shaping). A step further than this, you can try shaping a more complex behavior bit by bit with a clicker. In order to shape a complicated behavior, you have to be able to break down the behavior you are looking for into very small pieces and gradually approximate towards the actions you are looking for. The power of this shaping is that the dog "learns to learn" and to think about what they are doing.

Shaping can be quite frustrating in the beginning, but I have found it to be the best way to learn how the timing of the reward affects the dog's behavior. Timing of reward (and correction) is an important training skill to master no matter what training tools you use. Starting with a clicker allows you to experiment, and any mistakes should not, ultimately, affect the relationship between you and your dog or your dogs general confidence. This is important for dog training; young dogs should not be subjected to corrections such as prong collar corrections until they are confident enough to take them. Otherwise, you may find that, for all of your training, you fail to achieve the results you desire because your dog does not show the desired attitude in his work.

Combining methods: These techniques can be combined to get faster results. For instance, if you are shaping your dog to go to a box or dumbbell, you can reward him by throwing the food on the box or next to the dumbbell. This lures the dog to the object so he is more likely to be successful at the next repetition.

small knowhow on how to train dog for the starter/ beginner, you are free to read and learn if you want.

many thanks and cheers brader!!!!!!!!!!!
