Dogs are great at recognizing patterns, some behaviour patterns that we may not even be aware of. For example, does your dog follow you to the kitchen? They may have patterned going to the kitchen means a treat reward is coming. In this session, we will harness our dogs predictive patterning behaviour to our advantage. We will be covering - Delayed Reinforcement (No Cookies? No problem!), Distractions (dogs, food, people and judges, oh my!!), Ring Entrances (waiting, enter gates, drive to set up, leash off, Ready Cue). All these aspects are critical to building a predictable ring routine which will increase focus and reliability in the presence of distractions.
While this workshop is ideal for those who are either trialing or intending to trial, it has many practical day to day applications.
