Scientific Approach to Off-Leash Control
In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:
-
Understanding learning theory, types of conditioning, and systems of training.
-
Creating a habit so strong that it will hold up to distractions.
-
Consistency takes knowledge, effort, and discipline.
-
Having a picture in your mind of what is expected, and holding to that standard.
-
Reward is what replicates the habit.
Key Takeaways:
-
If you are struggling with certification level performance, you need to consider reaching out to get some additional help.
-
If you don’t understand theory about how a dog learns, you’re going to run into difficulty in trying to teach a dog anything.
-
Never abandon your training progression just to see what the dog will do.
-
When you have inconsistent training, you have inconsistent behaviors.
-
People who lack goal directed behavior become depressed. Dogs also have goal directed behavior.
"In the grand scheme of things, when you give a command, it happens." — Jerry Bradshaw
