Ep 040 The Dog Training Sweet Spot: Too Little? Too Much?

When a behavior occurs with your dog, you want it fixed NOW!

Today we discover the process and the time it takes to correct your dog’s behavior.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to know when your dog has truly mastered a command.

Discussion starts with the subject of how many times it takes to learn, or even master, some skill in your life.
Bennie acknowledges that he makes mistakes and has been caught.
References are made to the 10:1 Rule…again!
If you ever reach the point where you have praised your dog 10 times more than you have ever corrected, you will see that your dog will choose to do that behavior on her own.
It is important to recognize that it takes repetition, repetition, repetition, to get the results you desire.
Your human reaction to your dog’s behaviors are normal to how you would respond to a another human. Many times, you end up reinforcing a behavior you don’t want.
If you catch yourself, you can change your reactions and one “mistake” will not change your dog’s behavior.
Anything you do once or twice will not change or reinforce a behavior, either good or bad.
