Have you ever wondered how to end a dog training session so that your dog knows it’s over? We’re looking at the rhythm of training and how a session’s beginning, middle, and end can bring your dog success. Having a clear finish to training time will help you avoid giving your dog a time out and help your dog understand what’s “dog time” and what is not.
In the episode you'll hear:
• How training always starts with a plan. • Why a session begins with engagement. • The structure of a training session and what to include. • About keeping flow in your training time. • Why I practice without my dog for new skills. • How long a training session should be for your dog. • About listening to your dog’s feedback. • How to end a session and the rhythm that helps your dog. • Why we don’t want our dogs initiating the training. • The reason to change locations, even in a small space. • About the importance of what happens outside of training.
