Gizmo Session #3

The handler uses desensitization and counter conditioning to reduce/remove leash reactivity.

Gizmo is corrected when he chooses unhealthy, dangerous behavior. The handler redirects him to desired behavior and rewards it.

The relationship is strengthened and trust is built through calm, confident, and clear handling.

Sensational work and significant progress for this team! 💫

Reality Or Regret

When reality is ignored, regret is certain!

Here's where we started session #3 with five month old, dog aggressive Gizmo.

Gizmo had significant reactivity when he saw Brave from over 100 feet away. He was corrected, and space was created using a focus exercise. He was then directed to desired behavior.

Gizmo worked on the far side from a distance. The distance between him and Brave was reduced as he became comfortable and he worked on the close side. Desensitization and counter conditioning are techniques used together to reduce/remove leash reactivity.

This video is not curated reality. You are seeing the process and the actual results. Please view the handler working with Gizmo in a separate video.

Using all four quadrants of operant conditioning results in effective training. There are challenges ahead, but Gizmo is feeling better and doing better!

Reality Or Regret

High Prey Drive

When reality is ignored, regret is certain!

Prey drive is an instinctual urge to hunt, stalk, chase and capture moving things.

Your dog's drives should be fulfilled through safe, structured activity. Teach desired behavior and reward it. Correct unhealthy, dangerous behavior with good timing.

Desensitization and counter conditioning are used to reduce/remove unwanted behavior.

Seek qualified, experienced professional help if you are stuck. There is shared happiness ahead and it won't take months.

Let's get to work!

Happy Holidays!

Allelomimetic Behavior

Allelomimetic behavior is the natural inclination of social animals like canines to mimic one another's actions. This facilitates group cohesion and the learning of younger animals by observing older and more experienced animals.

We use this natural tendancy at Blue Barn Ranch to teach new skills and healthy social behavior.

Enrichment

Enrichment through diverse locations provides varied physical experiences for your dog which boosts confidence, and reduces boredom related behaviors such as barking, chewing and digging.

Off leash freedom has physical health benefits, it promotes emotional well-being and it provides behavioral advantages.

A reliable recall is crucial! You and your dog can strengthen your relationship through training and shared adventures. Let's get to work!
