Episode 317: The speed of the dog comes from understanding

The Canine Paradigm

In the episode,Episode 317: The speed of the dog comes from understanding, we explore how understanding plays a critical role in improving a dog’s response speed and reliability. Addressing questions from our listeners, we delve into practical advice on handling various training scenarios.

One key topic is managing the go-home session after a board and train, particularly regarding the use of luring or redirecting to set up the dog and handler for success. Additionally, we discuss techniques to improve the “out” command, making it clearer and more effective for both trainer and dog. Finally, we explore how to reduce intensity in training sessions without losing the dog’s motivation, striking a balance between energy and control.

Whether you’re looking to refine a specific command or ensure your dog stays motivated while learning, this episode provides insight into maintaining engagement and achieving faster, more consistent results through better understanding.
