Episode notes
Trial Readiness and Management
- Expose your dog cautiously to trial environments before competing, observing their attention and connection.
- Train without reinforcers present and terminate trials if dog disengages to plan better strategies.
Customize Emergency Halt Cue
- Teach the emergency halt cue based on what comes most easily to your dog, whether sit, down, or stand.
- Adding the cue early is better once the behavior is established; tailor to breed and individual differences.
Prepare Before Adding New Dog
- Before adding a new dog, ensure current dogs have solid self-regulation, recalls, leash walking, and name response skills.
- Humans must be skilled in recognizing resource guarding and managing arousal and thresholds in the household.
