Conditioning is an integral component of training. The dog must have the ability to work when it’s tired. Not only does it build wind and resilience, but it builds confidence, desire, and drive.

There needs to be hope in training. Hope of success for both the handler and the dog. Hope directly dictates the level of motivation, and therefore, participation. Specifically, if the dog has hope (the reliable possibility of getting rewarded) they are more apt to learn—meaning that they will use what knowledge and training they already have to problem solve. In these videos you can see how even in different body positions, the dog has real hope of receiving the reward and will maintain its behavior despite the different picture.
