Worried about why your prong collar keeps coming off even though it feels secured? Well, worry no more. Ed Frawley shows you how you should fix loose prong collars to make sure that it doesn't come off and cause some sort of incident that you can prevent from happening to your dog. As always, we recommend you use a backup collar with your prong collar. You'll need a prong collar leash or a leash adapter to use both collars simultaneously.

What is a Double Blind Search?

A double-blind approach in Search and Rescue (S&R), Detector Dog training, and Tracking denotes a scenario where neither the dog nor the handler is aware of the location of the hidden find, the victim, or the track direction in question. Handlers that consistently hide their own training aides or consistently lay their own tracks are only kidding themselves that they are or will become an effective dog team. Implementing double-blind searches is important but they need to be started at the right time of a training program.

My Dog Won't Take Food Rewards

There is something every new trainer needs to know. If your dog won't take food, if it's not interested in your high-value food reward, it's either: 1 - full and not hungry 2 - it's distracted 3 - it's stressed If my dog is paying attention to the screaming kids next door the dog will often find the kids more interesting than the food reward we have. If my dog is stressed, because of the environment I have chosen to train in, the dog will not take food. Look at it like this: if you are scared do you feel like eating? Probably not. If you are mad, do you feel like eating, probably not. STRESS KILLS FOOD DRIVE.

When Not To Use A High Value Food Reward

Training Dogs with Food Rewards - Version 2024 https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/206 It may seem counterintuitive to say that we don't want to use our dogs highest value food reward, but with some dogs there may be times in teaching a behavior where that's exactly what we need to do. The same thing may happen with dogs that are transitioned to toy rewards. Let's say we have an extremely high high food drive dog that gets so amped up when it knows you have steak that it's brain stops working and the steak becomes more of a distraction. So much so that we need to add pressure to calm the dog down so we can help it learn. If that ever becomes the case with your dog, then change your food rewards to a lesser value food reward, maybe kibble. Once the dog knows the behavior and once it has gone through impulse control training, you will be able to go back and use steak again. At that point, the dog understands that the road to steak is to stay focused and offer the behavior we ask for.

Hand Touch Game

Training Dogs with Food Rewards - Version 2024 https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/206 When we ask our dog for a hand-touch we expect the dog to touch their nose to the palm of our hand. The hand-touch becomes a fun game that our dogs love to play at home and on walks. In fact, with many dogs, the hand-touch itself becomes a reward. Once our dog becomes fluent with the hand-touch we can use it to redirect the dog away from unwanted distractions like other dogs, people, or things that make them nervous or reactive. This video came out of a new 5 hour online course from Leerburg.com titled Training Your Dog With High Value Food Rewards with Ed Frawley. The course has over 100 videos in it. It replaces a 2 hour course Ed did back in 2006.

Conditioning Your Puppy To Grooming And Handling

Teaching our dogs to accept being handled is such an important thing for them to learn. It makes going to the vet or groomer a simple task rather than a stressful fight. We use the exact same marker concepts to check the dogs teeth, look in his ears, grab his collar and brush him. We break the task into small parts and mark/reward each step along the way. In the short video below you will watch Cindy handle Meru using markers. This only needs to take a couple of minutes every day for the dog to accept being handled. This is something we will do for many months.
