Canine - Human Relationship Institute

I got back home after a little over a week in Canada teaching. Two classes.

Great people, great dogs, tons of learning and change. Completely engaged people. It was a fantastic time and I was honored to work with all of them.

I want to thank each of you who assisted and participated in both classes. I look forward to working with all of you again, soon.

Course I and Art of Leash Handling.

Teaching and talking from 8:00 am to between 11:00 pm - 1 am.

We forgot to get a group photo of all of the people in the first course!

Ask these people what they learned.

Tonight. Kate. Smart girl. I taught her how to close and shut a door. Front door, back door, refrigerator door. Any door if I ask her.

How long did it take? About 10 seconds. 2 times. She got it. We went to different doors. How does this happen. Capturing behaviors all the time. Then putting them together in a sequence to use for a specific purpose. That is how I train dogs. You have to be aware and present all the time. If a dog gives you a behavior on its own purpose, it already agrees with it. Now you simply agree and ask it to do it again. You just have to see the whole picture for years ahead.

Sounds simple, right? It’s not if you don’t know how that works in the dog’s brain. That is what I teach.
