How We Train
Our system is simple.
There are 3 phases that when used correctly will help you to communicate with your dog. Applying Operant Conditioning with these phases will ensure that your dog get the best learning experience possible.
Shaping
We use positive reinforcement to help encourage your dog to focus, and to shape specific behavior. During this phase your dog will be rewarded often which will help your dog to understand the concept of learning.
Marking
Once your dog begins to perform, we mark all attempts to comply with our behavioral request with a food reward layered with a verbal cue such as “YES” or “OK”. this method is a form of classical conditioning much like clicker training.
Proofing
This is where we begin to generalize specific behaviors. Once the dog understands, that in order to get the reward it must perform the behavior we are asking for. We then proof these behaviors in varying environments. Introducing distractions into the exercise to test the dog, thus generalizing the behavior.
Using this system will ensure communicating with your dog is clear, fun, and effective!
