Mission Control: How to train the high-drive dog

Product Information

And so I ended up with this little dog who was just wanting to do things all the time, so I struggled with her being able to settle to switch off.

I've booked a whole week dog-training holiday for gundog training, working the dogs in a shoot environment. As well as the theory, there are lots of great, step by step games and exercises to help your dog build up the ability to think and make the choices you’d like them to make rather than only performing to cue. Jane Ardern: When I did my previous webinar, I think there was quite a few questions on me talking about teaching different release cues for the dog. He supported me really well, and he was great, because I said to him, "I don't want you to get hold of my dog.Even as a professional trainer, I'd never experienced the intensity that when she got into a high state of arousal and would lose the plot, I had never experienced that before. In 2012 Jane graduated with an honours degree in canine behaviour and training from Hull University, achieving the highest grade ever given in the advanced instructing module.

I've been looking forward to getting this book for a while and when it has arrived and I have finally had a chance to sit down I've been greeted by poor quality. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.We worked together, we had lots of conversations, and we worked through a lot of the problems, which was great. 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. They did some MRI scanning on a monk who'd meditated and reached enlightenment, and the MRI scanning showed that when he was meditating, his brain was functioning at perfection and everything was working exactly right. I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing it, and often recommend this book to clients with high drive/high energy dogs who are looking for further/supporting info. Her mission is to help people who are looking for a positive and ethical solution to problems around excitement, arousal, drive and predatory behavior.

Jane Arden is a well respected dog trainer with both practical knowledge of dogs and a degree in dog behaviour her knowledge shines through the book, it's like having Jane at your side. I used to show my Leonbergers, and when you go to a dog show, especially in the open dog class, one dog would just walk in the ring and everybody's eyes would be drawn to this dog.You mentioned before we started recording — when you say you're out training them, you mean literally you're on a training getaway this week, right? She was great to train because she was always busy, she always wanted to do things, she always wanted to learn. You’ll learn how to teach your dog to be steady, stop barking and spinning when he gets frustrated and focus on you. Melissa Breau: As dog sports people, which most of our audience fits into that bucket, we all love this idea of having a dog that's high drive when it comes to training.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I appreciate an author who does not gloss over the fallouts, and indeed she goes into detail of the fall outs you can expect for each of the quadrants and makes a point of highlighting positive methods as not immune to fall out.I find the topic of self control is a little bit blurry in the dog training world, there's Its Yer Choice and people who hate that. That's usually lots of shaping behavior, because that stuff's just in the dog already, so it's down to us to shape that in the right direction.
