Episode notes
Use Kind Shortcuts To Save Time
- Use shortcuts that save effort and cause no harm to reach your training goals faster.
- Avoid labeling helpful management tools as bad if they legitimately reduce work and stress.
Use No-Pull Devices For Immediate Relief
- Put an appropriate no-pull device on dogs who are dragging handlers to enable safe walks immediately.
- Use the device as a shortcut to increase walking frequency while you work on long-term training.
Reduce Visual Triggers Quickly
- Limit a dog's vision (calming cap, covered crate) to reduce car barking or visual triggers quickly.
- Only use this if the dog tolerates it; otherwise it requires more training and is not a shortcut.
