Mission Control: How to train the high-drive dog

Product Information

But the webinar is delving into the emotional state and being aware of, when we release dogs from specific behaviors, about reinforcement and association, and if we want relaxation, are we creating relaxation or are we creating anticipation.

the book has inspired me greatly and i only hope that i get to meet work with and be trained by Jane Arden one day soon. The exercises or games in the book are designed to not get your dog over excited but to enable calm learning. In this book, you get advice on how to channel that energy into the training and behavior you want, no matter what type of training you’re interested in: gun dog work, agility, basic obedience, etc. Sadly mine got lost in the mail (it was delivered to a relative then sent on to me overseas) and only the envelope arrived.WaggaWuffins is run by Jane Ardern, award winning qualified behaviourist and trainer, author, lecturer and professional speaker. Those who need more advanced stuff will find it in the writing, and those who need to simply follow steps and start have that offered up on a plate with solid reasoning to help them understand the why behind the what when they're ready for it. It has a substantial section explaining theory and concepts before getting into the practical exercises. Melissa Breau: Which ties in really nicely with what I was going to ask you next, which is, what is your current training philosophy? It's totally possible for the right environment to still feel like a poor fit, just because it didn't meet your needs at the time, and it was made so aversive for you as the trainer, as the human trainer.

Jane is a member of the Professional Speaking Association (PSA) and has spoken at many seminars and events. I think in all dogs, really, they come with these traits, and the environment switches on these genes, and then the dog just behaves impulsively, based upon its genetics. Can you talk to that a little bit more, like what some of the difficult aspects are that maybe come with a high drive dog? The two of you will work as a team and because you are the fun person who allows him to access all the good things in life, he will try his heart out for you! Melissa Breau: That'll be fascinating, because I'm really looking forward to sitting through it with you next week.

I started a journey, I think, looking for a cure for aggression, and here I am, still looking for one. 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. it is packed full of knowledge and information and the the exercises in the book are so well written and easy to follow in fact the whole book is like that. I did find at times some exercises were a bit outdated - not overly so, still progressive by dog training standards - but that was slightly disappointing for me. She provides online support through a membership community for other enthusiasts and professionals and is the creator of Smart Pup, a puppy training subscription box.

Melissa Breau: Like the difference between a start line stay for agility and "Go to your mat and lay there while we eat dinner" type of thing. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Today I have Jane Ardern here with me to talk about training high drive dogs, training gun dogs, and release cues in particular.There's some practical training exercises in there on teaching settle, and also teaching an anticipatory stay as well. But do you sometimes wish you could reign in some of that enthusiasm and produce the results that you both deserve?
