Mission Control: How to train the high-drive dog

Product Information

It's totally possible for the right environment to still feel like a poor fit, just because it didn't meet your needs at the time, and it was made so aversive for you as the trainer, as the human trainer. So when people learn to be mindful, when they learn to stop and think and not react, we know in humans that that causes eventually the brain to rewire.

Jane has lectured for COAPE, the internationally course provider for animal behaviourists, delivering their Level 5 OfQual practical modules. In this book, you get advice on how to channel that energy into the training and behavior you want, no matter what type of training you’re interested in: gun dog work, agility, basic obedience, etc.This webinar is to help owners of both pet and competition dogs get the best out of them, both in general day-to-day life and in competition and sports. And also looking a little bit into shaping behavior, capturing and rewarding so the dog has options, because again, especially with a young dog, you can't just go, "Hey, relax," and they can just change their neurochemistry and fall asleep.

We will look at identifying arousal through observable behaviors including when and how to support your dog. Where this occurs we work closely with both dog and owner to find mutually acceptable solutions to any problems. To start us out, can you share a little bit about you, your current pets, what you're working on with them?

Can you talk to that a little bit more, like what some of the difficult aspects are that maybe come with a high drive dog? But do you sometimes wish you could reign in some of that enthusiasm and produce the results you both deserve? These dogs are designed to work in drive, teaching them to be calm and relaxed is highly beneficial in day-to-day life situations, but for work it is counterproductive.

So the book is very much about my experiences with my dogs, and what they've taught me and what I've learned. Jane Ardern: My big thing is really getting people to understand that they're teaching the dog a skill, often rather than behaviors, especially when you have dogs who are excitable in high arousal. I am currently working with my three youngest, which is Letti, who's 13 months, Pebbles, who is 18 months, and Huey, who is 3. with Jane Arden's incredible wealth of knowledge and expertise its like Jane Arden is there with you talking and guiding you through every word, step and excersie.Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you.
