Foundations of Dog Training Webinar

I truly believe that a crucial piece of accurate training is ensuring we have a solid foundation. The last thing we want to do is attempt advanced training, such as reactivity training, without establishing a strong baseline between us and our dog. In my experience, many reactivity issues and less favourable behaviours come from a lack of foundational training. Too often, I see people asking their dogs to perform tasks when the dog has no idea what is expected. This leads to confusion, frustration, and ultimately more unwanted behaviours and a breakdown in relationship. In this replay of my Foundations Webinar, I’ll walk you through the exact principles I teach every client to create a strong training base with their dog. You’ll gain knowledge to build—or repair—your foundational training, daily practices, and lifestyle. In the replay, you’ll learn about: • Communication: Verbal Marker System • Reinforcement: Rewards, Corrections, Timing and Positioning • Learning Phases • Proofing Behaviors: 3 D’s • Structure and Boundaries • Neutrality and Impulse Control I always encourage clients to audit and reflect on their training foundations, which is why this program is valuable for truly any dog owner. This replay is packed with information that will help you create harmony in your home and strengthen your relationship with your companion. You’ll also see the full slideshow I use when teaching these topics live.
