Episode 313: What dumb stuff is the owner doing
Update: 2024-09-15
Description
In Episode 313 of The Canine Paradigm, we dive deep into the intricacies of reward placement, direct and indirect reinforcement, and how these elements impact training success. Moreover, understanding where and how you deliver rewards can drastically shape your dog's behaviour. In particular, we explore the nuances of direct reinforcement, where the reward is tied closely to the dog's action, versus indirect reinforcement, where the reward is less immediate.
Additionally, one of the key insights is how improper reward placement can lead to undesirable behaviours, including the development of chewy grips. For instance, we discuss why dogs may develop chewy grips when rewards are poorly timed or misplaced, and how owners often unknowingly contribute to this problem. As a result, it’s all too common for dog owners to unintentionally reinforce the wrong behaviours, leading to a confused or over-excited dog.
Finally, our goal is to help you become a more effective dog handler by shedding light on the small details that can make a huge difference in your training outcomes. Join us in this episode as we explain the connection between reinforcement strategies and common training challenges.
