If the primary goal is to make things easier for the human, we make things harder on the dog.
I stole this quote from another post, but I think it’s so true.

When you work with a dog, are you prone to marching along on assumption, intent on your goal, maybe oblivious to signs that the dog is now feeling differently?

In training we change something that affects the dog, environment, equipment, treats, toys - but with each change we easily forget to ask the most critical Elemental Question: “How is this for you?

Grounded in observation and empathy, based in truly being present with and for the dog, asking “How is this for you?” provides an unfailing guide that helps us be responsive, humane, fair and helpful for the dog.

In this webinar Suzanne will look at:

🔹 The Feedback Loop: Our dogs provide a wealth of information, moment by moment. The feedback loop is only as tight and productive as our ability to observe and respond to the signals that the dog is sending.

🔹Observations, Not Assumptions: We can get lost in our goals or our assumptions, and forget to truly SEE THE DOG. How do we make sure we are acting based on observation?

🔹Trusting the Truth: When we trust the dog is telling us the truth of the moment, we respond differently – and in good faith – than when we discount their messages. Dismissing or ignoring the dog can erode the dog’s trust in us.

🔹Relationship Centered Training: RCT prioritizes the relationship and the dog’s emotional, mental and physical state over any performance outcomes.
