“How many hours a day do you spend training your puppy or dog?” is one of the most common questions I get. So, we’ll look at a typical day in the life of my dogs. What happens might surprise you as I don’t spend as much time training as many would think. What is important is the training between the training.

 

In the episode you'll hear:

 

• Why the interactions with your dog are the relationship.
• About a typical day in my life with my dogs.
• How I get the training done before I do the training.
• Why I keep dog treats in small bowls around my home.
• About being ready to reward your dog for doing something well.
• How I capture behaviours that I want my dogs to do.
• The opportunities for my dogs to earn reinforcement at mealtimes.
• Why I am intentional about catching my dogs doing something well.
• About being aware of the thing before the thing.
• Why to decide what your rules are for your dog.
• About using walks for training opportunities.
• Why to be present to what your dog is rehearsing.
• How 75% of my puppy training happens when I’m not training.
• Why 95% of my adult dog training happens when I’m not training.
