A dog training tip
Always ask yourself: In this moment, am I helping my pet to succeed or fail in my lesson? Remember, if your pet is not doing what you want it to do, it is more than likely not a matter of being stubborn or dumb.
Â
Some things to consider if your lesson is not succeeding:
Â
Are you using high enough value reinforcers?
Â
Are you using accurate timing in marking/reinforcing the behavior you are teaching?
Â
Have you broken the lesson done into small enough steps for your pet to learn?
Â
Has your training session gone on too long?
Â
Is your pet in any kind of pain?
Â
Is your pet showing any signs of avoidance that could be a sign of not feeling safe or comfortable?
