Episode notes
Prey Drive vs Correction
- Dogs may ignore corrections if their prey drive reward outweighs the discomfort of the correction. - This happens because the dog either fights through the correction or doesn’t fully understand the recall.
Use Long Line for Training
- Use a long line leash to train recalls gradually instead of going straight to off-leash. - This builds foundation and clarity the dog needs for effective remote collar conditioning.
Leash Training Builds Foundation
- Teach your dog good leash skills like heel to build basic communication foundation. - Skipping leash training is like skipping school grades and expecting advanced skills.
