Training Plan For Hyper Excited Dogs: Play The Threshold Game For Calm Focus #258


Listen Later

Visit us at shapedbydog.com 

 

Does your dog get hyper and lose focus the closer they get to something really exciting? You are not alone, and I have a training plan to help you create calm and focus for over-the-top dogs. I’m covering why dogs can get out of control near things they love and what to do about it when you want to be a positive reinforcement-based dog trainer. Plus, you’ll get the steps to play the Threshold Game with a case study of a very excited young dog who visits me with my friend. 

 

In this episode you’ll hear:

 

• Why we can’t rely on cheese alone. • The difference between transactional and relational dog training. • Why dogs get out of control as they get nearer to exciting things. • A review of the ABC to solve dog training problems: antecedent, behavior, consequence. • The example of puppy Prophet at the store for creating positive experiences for dogs.  • How good triggers and games help dogs change their emotional state. • The Threshold Game training plan to calm dogs down so they focus on you. • About mixing up reinforcement and progressing the Threshold Game
