In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

•         Understanding learning theory, types of conditioning, and systems of training.
•         Creating a habit so strong that it will hold up to distractions.
•         Consistency takes knowledge, effort, and discipline.
•         Having a picture in your mind of what is expected, and holding to that standard.
•         Reward is what replicates the habit.

 

Key Takeaways:

•         If you are struggling with certification level performance, you need to consider reaching out to get some additional help.
•         If you don’t understand theory about how a dog learns, you’re going to run into a difficulty in trying to teach a dog anything
•         Never abandon your training progression just to see what the dog will do.
•         When you have inconsistent training, you have inconsistent behaviors.
•         People who lack goal directed behavior become depressed. Dogs also have goal directed behavior.
