How to Train Your Dog to Hunt Chanterelles.

The Premack Principle

To use positive reinforcement effectively, a trainer must thoroughly understand what reinforcement is and how it functions. Often, we oversimplify this by equating positive reinforcement with a piece of food. While food can work quickly & well in many situations, it’s useless when a learner is satiated, or too frightened or aroused to eat.

Trainers sometimes refer to a dog’s “life rewards”: those everyday pleasures such as the opportunity to go outside, to sniff a tree, or to greet an approaching dog. These can be used to reinforce desired behaviors. This approach is similar to the Premack Principle but doesn’t fully take advantage of his revolutionary insights. Premack said much more than, “If you eat your vegetables, you can have dessert.”

Challenging behaviour in animals can range from inconvenient to embarrassing to exasperating - to the people who have to live with them. To the animals involved, those behaviours are often not problematic at all, but rather a solution to a problem that they're experiencing - and our task is often to help the animal find another solution that's less annoying to us - or to remove the animal's problem altogether.

This webinar will provide a framework for how to approach behavioural challenges.

Something - as Positive Reinforcement based dog/animal trainers - we can sometimes find challenging is processing both our emotions & thought processes when we see others using aversives.
Consequently, this live event will offer Ryan Cartlidge’s contributions to this challenge - based on his experience practically applying the tools from ‘crucial conversations’ over the last decade.

Watch this webinar with Laura Monaco Torelli to learn simple strategies to help craft a care team collaboration. Initial tips and valuable considerations will be discussed and demonstrated. All within the scope of what we can do proactively as pet owners’ framed into positive day-to-day interactions.

This is the second webinar with Laura. I recommend you to watch the first one first.
How do we support the average pet owner to ensure their comfort level? It can be overwhelming to hear the need to administer allergy shots (per veterinary direction), ear drops, or place a basket muzzle on their canine companion. We wouldn’t flood the animal learner with too many approximations or expectations. How can we arrange the teaching environment so it includes empathy, education, and empowerment for those that collaborate in our pets’ care?
Join Laura to learn more about how she integrates exotic animal experience into a curriculum for her client teams that support comfort level coupled with skill level.

In this presentation Jesús Rosales-Ruiz shows an experimental analysis of the Poisoned Cue, and techniques to identify situations that might involve Poisoned Cues. It also discusses ways to overcome these cues.

I dette webinaret fokuserer Astrid på hvordan vi trener fram en hund som engasjerer seg i den aktiviteten vi bestemmer når vi bestemmer det. Hun tar for seg både hvordan vi som eiere og førere må legge opp treningen for å få en slik hund, hvordan vi lærer hunden det når den er valp, hvordan vi jobber med det under unghundsperioden og hvilke krav vi kan sette til den voksne hunden. Alle eksemplene vil være relatert til trening av stående eller støtende fuglehunder, men temaet er aktuelt for alle typer hunder og sporter.

I dette webinaret fokuserer Astrid Weider Ellefsen på hvorfor det er viktig å bruke eksterne belønninger når vi trener fram fuglehunder, og hvordan vi lærer hunden at alt det den har lyst på ute i jaktterrenget er tilgjengelig gjennom føreren.

En blygerhund är en hund som är osäker. Allt från lite försiktig till riktigt rädd. Den kan reagera med att vilja fly, att vilja skrämmas, att bli lamslagen eller kanske att vilja fjäska för den som skrämmer. Den kan ha en specifik rädsla eller flera generella. Föreläsningen passar för dig som har en sådan hund, men  den passar även för dig som har en orädd hund eftersom så mycket av arbetet vi kan göra är förebyggande, och bör göras inte minst med valpar och unghundar.

Online Workshop: Art-of-Living for dogs and handlers with Jessy Lang and Sam Turner: 
The art-of-living is a concept that can be assigned to the positive psychology. It is based on strategies to lead a happy and fulfilled life. The concept includes 17 different components which can be trained. Jessy and Sam have adapted the concept from humans to dogs. They have developed a holistic and science-based programme including several exercises to improve happiness and well-being for dogs AND handlers. 

BAT helps animals gain confidence and social skills. BAT is a natural method that creates an emotionally safe interaction with minimal intrusion. BAT is especially useful when the “triggers” for frustration, aggression, or fear are living beings, for example when dogs bark at or bite other dogs or people.

Do you have a dog who hates taking turns or sharing resources? Do you have a dog who struggles with triggers approaching it? Learn how to put your learners in the driver's seat of their own counter conditioning using these protocols.

"Functional anatomy" sounds very dry and rather daunting at first. But what lies behind it is enormously important for dog owners, trainers and physiotherapists alike.

This webinar deals with the dog's body structure and the associated structural strengths and weaknesses. Knowing these is immensely important for any activity with a dog, because this explains, for example, the supposed stubbornness in trick training, the pole throwing in agility or the reluctance to retrieve balls on the walk. What's more: if you know about your dog's physical weaknesses, you can specifically prevent signs of wear and tear such as arthrosis. With the help of many photos and videos, a wide variety of dogs are examined from front to back, bringing a lot of colour into this rather theoretical topic. Ideal for anyone who wants to take a closer look at the physique of dogs.

Scared from the beginning – which is inheritance, which is environment? What to do as an owner, when your dog is stressed and anxious from the moment you get it home? A perspective on the ability to learn when stressed and anxious with the focus of the breed, the role the breeder plays and tips to how to help you as an owner how to assist your dog to cope.

The art of delivering instructions – Introduction to the TAGteach tools for teaching the human!
We study endlessly on how best to communicate with our animal learners, but what about our human learners?
There is a real art to delivering information to a human, especially in the moments before they are asked to act upon your instructions. We’ll look at two TAGteach tools: the Focus Funnel and WOOF that will help you create crystal clear instructions while simultaneously decreasing stress and in the human learning environment.

Breeding of sick dogs is probably the most important welfare issue for our dogs. Hundred years of dog breeding, largely based on the dogs appearance, has led to many unnecessary diseases.  We have technology and science to do better for our dogs, and therefore we should do better. The EU- guidelines for dog breeding outlines a new approach to the way we breed dogs.

There are many ways to train your dog, and it has been obvious to most that you can train tracking and obedience with clicker training in the working dog programs. But when we come to what is most often referred to as "defense work", there are many who believe it is not a training method that is relevant.

Når man som hundeejer står foran reolerne i hundefoderbutikken og skal vælge det rette foder til sin hund, kan det nemt føles som at stå i en jungle. Der findes et hav af forskellige hundefodertyper. Fra tørt til vådt, fra tilberedt til råt, fra fuldfoder til tillægsfoder – der findes med garanti noget til (næsten) enhver smag! Endnu større føles sortimentet af snacks, godbidder og diverse tilskudsprodukter. Men hvad skal man vælge til netop sin hund – og vigtigst af alt: hvorfor? 

Dette webinar er en introduktion til ernæring af hunde med hovedfokus på forskellen mellem de forskellige slags foder. Jeg vil også komme ind på, hvad man skal være opmærksom på, når ens hund får mange godbidder og/eller snacks, f.eks. i forbindelse med træning, og hvorfor det ikke altid er en god idé at give sin hund kosttilskud.
