2.1 The Secret to Training Dogs
Imagine you’re in a foreign country and someone rushes up waving his arms and
speaking in a language you don’t understand! That’s what life can be like for your
dog every day. Dogs aren’t born knowing English, French, or even Chinese. In
fact all of the babbling that we tend to use when training is a huge distraction to
learning, and the extraneous flailing and
speaking confuses our dogs even more. So
how will we fix the communication gap and
train Fido to behave better?
We’ll focus on our actions, instead of our
words. The universal approach and secret
to changing behaviors in all animals,
not just dogs, is to reward the behaviors
we want and remove rewards for the
unwanted behaviors. For instance, if your
dog jumps or whines and barks at you
for attention, avoid yelling at or pushing
him away—these can all be seen as forms
of attention to the dog and actually
strengthen the naughty behavior. Instead
we can train Fido that sitting quietly
and politely earns your attention (treats,
petting, praise—whatever he wants at that
instant) and that noisy or pushy behavior
causes you to remove your attention (look
away or turn your back on him).
2.2 Immediate Timing
Is Essential
Clearly, one key to success here is
rewarding the correct behavior as it occurs,
or immediately afterward. That’s why the Treat&Train™ system is so handy. It
allows you to more precisely reward your dog as she’s performing the behavior
correctly, rather than one or more seconds late! We’ll want to remove accidental
FORMULA FOR CHANGING
DOG BEHAVIOR:
1. Reward only the behaviors
you want.
2. Remove the rewards for
unwanted behaviors.
Dogs care about our actions, not
our words. To avoid confusing Fido,
we’ll focus on our actions first and
add words later on.
