Episode 16: Shunishment

Jason Connell and Gordon Fontaine discuss the essential technique of shunishment in Zen Dog Training. Training by removing attention from your dog is very effective, however requires creating an environment where you can control the outcome to ensure you can safely ignore your dog.

For this reason many popular methods such as "yipping" and acting like a hurt puppy when your dog play bites you is more complex. To work, these kind of shunishment methods require you to create a teachable moment where you control the outcome.

Drama Diva is the Zen Dog Training game to reduce play biting, to be implemented correctly you must first use the collar, indoor leash or drag line, and baby gates so you can create an environment for success.
