Dog training! Turning operant conditioning into classical conditioning. Third training session. Third rep in. An operant dog is the way to go! Let them find out what behavior will bring the reward by themselves. They think it is their own idea. That is how you get a smart dog because they have to think. My dog knows the game and how it works. I played a lot of shaping games with her. Soon, she will be fire with this exercise. PS I always reward for small intentions, do chunking when training something new and end on a good note. I want my dog to love the behavior. That is why I create high dopamine levels for her. It is all about the anticipation! You have to know how to read your dog. #dopamine #holsingergermanshepherds #dogtrainer #obedience #clickertraining #germanshepherdpuppy #operantconditioning #classicalconditioning #germanshepherd #smartdog #shaping #freeshaping #smallintentions #chunking #anticipation #ericholsinger #positivereinforcementdogtrainer
Clicker charged like dynamite! How do I know it is charged? When she ignores competing motivators! My clicker means 1 thing and 1 thing only. You are released from behavior to come get your reward and fly back into previous behavior. At the time, this puppy was 4-5 months old. Once you have a clicker charged like this, it is time to do intense training. #trainingtips #dopamine #dogtrainer #holsingergermanshepherds #positivereinforcement #positivereinforcementtraining #positivereinforcementdogtrainer #germanshepherd #germanshepherdpuppy #clickertraining #Clicker
Training in the skinner room! Turning this dog into our family personal protection dog. She barks, I mark it with a yes. She gets the bite as a reward. I give a little pressure swinging the leash over her head. She does great withstands it. I say out. She let's go. I give her a command to bite right away after the outs as a reward. She holds the wedge with a full calm hard bite. I mark with a click with my mouth, she gets rewarded.
I condition this puppy to bite fuller and harder. When I purposely give her a shallow bite, she will take it. When the opportunity presents itself, she does a full bite right away. You can see in the video. I use the leather wedge cover for the wedge because it is hard for a dog to hold on to when pulling as hard as I am in the video. The leather wedge cover protects the teeth from snagging on to anything. You do not need any teeth popping out. I do want to add, when the leather is wet from dog saliva and mink oil, it is very slippery. #dogtraining #holsingergermanshepherds #dopamine #dogtrainer #doglover #dogbitework #trainingtips

How do you know when you take too many pictures and videos? When your phone says it is out of storage! It did not capture the whole training session. I hate when that happens! Lol Will not happen next time. Happy Friday everyone! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #holsingergermanshepherds #germanshepherd #smartdog #dopamine #puppy #germanshepherdlovers #germanshepherd
A-frame chain link fence. I am always challenging this pup. This is her 4th time with the chain link A-frame. She will do it beautifully like she does a normal A-frame soon. The goal was her being comfortable enough, going over it and back. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #holsingergermanshepherds #germanshepherdlovers #germanshepherd #germanshepherdpuppy #heartandsoul #puppyoftheday #markertraining #happydogs #smartdog
A training session can end as fast as this. Make them work for each meal. It is that simple. #germanshepherdlovers #holsingergermanshepherds #makethemwork #furbaby #handsome #dogtraining #germanshepherd #positivereinforcement #markertraining.
