Teaching your dog a 'Sit/Hold'?

Don't make this mistake....

Often, folks ask for the 'sit', walk away, get somewhere off in the distance or out of sight, and then RELEASE their dog, after they successfully held that 'sit'! ❌

When you release your dog from a distance, the VALUE is in getting released, getting to you, or getting to move away from the position. Not where we want the value to be!
Your dog will 'break' more & more 'sit/holds', anticipating the release because the reinforcement comes by leaving the position. 😫

Instead do far more of this...

Go back to your dog. Stand beside your dog.
Reinforce the sit/hold right there.
Be sure you are building value for the behavior you want, by reinforcing the behavior you want - which is the sit/hold.
Not leaving that position. ✅✅

I've been there....several years ago, I worked with 'dominance' style trainers, tried an ecollar, corrected my dog for behaviors I didn't want - barking, lunging, 'disobedience'. 🙁😣😖😫

The outcome was not good, and I struggle to forgive myself for the added challenges I created for my fearful, anxious dog. 😔
I failed to understand what his behavior was desperately communication to me.

The desperation to truly help him, sent me to get an education, to learn how dogs really learn, what dogs really need, and how I could better understand and teach my dog. ❤️✅

This journey to a more kind, much more effective, science-based way to teach a dog, has not only guided me to help my dog & change his behavior, it has changed me, taught me invaluable lessons, and helps me to grow as a more kind person overall.

Reach out! I can guide you through as well. 😊☺️😊

YES! 🎉❤️🎉

The behavior is telling you something is missing in meeting your dog's needs! ✅✅

Behavior is the way your dog communicates.
That behavior MEANS something....

Barking, pulling, jumping, reactivity, and other challenges dog owners commonly struggle with are often signs that something important may be missing for the dog.

In this blog, I’m sharing the five core needs I look at and how understanding those needs can change the way we approach training and behavior challenges.
