Reflexive Recall Exercises

In this episode, Ed Frawley discusses training dogs using food rewards in recall training as it is often criticized by some who question its effectiveness, especially in situations where food isn't available. However, these criticisms usually stem from a lack of understanding or experience in using food as a training tool.| Links mentioned: Training Your Dog to Come When Called (2024) - Online Course: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/197 | Training Your Dog to Come When Called (2024) - Streaming Video: https://leerburg.com/flix/player.php/2416/Training_Your_Dog_to_Come_When_Called_(2024)_by_Ed_Frawley

Why We Use Food Rewards in Recall Training

Over the past 35 years, we here at Leerburg have built a reputation for selling the finest leather dog leashes, the finest leather harnesses, and the finest leather dog collars in the world. Our Leerburg leather products are strong enough to last a lifetime but soft enough to be comfortable right out of the box. If you go to PetSmart or one of the dog food warehouses and feel their leather products, you will find that their leather is thin and stiff. The leather in our dog leashes is thick, pliable, and soft. It's comfortable on your hands and results in better training for your dog. | Links mentioned: Article: Leerburg's Amish Leather Products: https://leerburg.com/amish.htm | Leerburg's Amish Leather Leashes: https://leerburg.com/amishleashes.htm | Leerburg's Amish Leather Collars: https://leerburg.com/leathercollars.htm | Leerburg's Amish Leather Harnesses: https://leerburg.com/amishharnesses.htm

Leerburg Leather Leashes are the Best in the World

In this video, Ed Frawley sits down with Travis Olson from Keeper Collars® to discuss the quality product that is Keeper Collars. They dive into the mission of Keeper Collars, how to measure your dog for a Keeper Collar, and which keeper collar is best for you based on the various options available. The Keeper Collars® Hidden Prong Collar is not simply a cover for a prong collar. The prong is built directly into the collar, allowing for unmatched functionality and camouflaging of the prong. These collars are designed to easily be put on and taken off. Gone are the days of struggling to pinch the prongs together. For those people who do not have a ton of dexterity in their fingers, this is going to be a huge benefit. Because you are no longer pinching the prongs to put the collar on and take off, you do not have to worry about them eventually wearing out and becoming loose. This also eliminates the worry of your prong coming apart when you need it most. With that, you no longer need to use a backup collar. Leerburg has always recommended using a backup collar with a prong. Simply because if and when the prong fails it will fail when you need it most and maintaining control over your dog in those instances is crucial. With the Keeper Collar, there is no way for the prongs to come apart. Even if they did, the leather flat strap doubles as your back up collar. | Links mentioned: Keeper Collars: https://leerburg.com/keepercollars.php

Ed Frawley Sits Down with Travis Olson From Keeper Collars

When we move our dog to a variable reward schedule and we do it at the right time, it should produce more drive in our dog to perform. If we have introduced the dog to the 'NOPE' marker enough times (hundreds of times - see our online course on Marker Training) the dog will think 'Hey I deserve a reward but I didn't get one, I must have done something wrong so I'll try harder next time'. Then the following behaviors it gets rewarded 3 or 4 times, then no reward again. The goal of a variable reward system is to develop a training module where the dog never knows when or how many rewards it's going to get for offering a behavior. Finding the right balance is your challenge. Being ready to back up your training for a while will help you figure this out. Every dog is different, that's why no one can tell you exactly how to do it for your dog. | Links mentioned: Training Dogs with Food Rewards: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/206 | The Power of Training Dogs with Markers (2024 Version): https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/96
