    Show notes

    Visit us at shapedbydog.com

    Why is it important to walk your dog daily? Besides the obvious health benefits of exercise, we're looking at the advantages of daily dog walking that many people don't realize. Sometimes people can give a list of reasons not to walk their dog, so we're covering why to start and what defines appropriate exercise for dogs.

    In the episode you'll hear:

    • That our dog Tater Salad does not particularly like walking at certain times. • About the health benefits of walking for dogs. • What my friends Dr. Karen Becker and Rodney Habib say about canine exercise. • Why leaving your dog out in the backyard is not exercise. • That dogs benefit from a change of scenery and it can reduce stress and behavior issues. • How taking your dog for a walk presents great training opportunities. • The reason to find opportunities for your dog to go for a run off leash. • About walks being relationship building and special adventure time for you and your dog. • That walks have benefits for us and how I make a habit of gratitude when walking. • What types of dogs should not be walked and what you can do instead. • The common denominator in dogs with long life spans.

    Dog Training Outside The Box: Transfer Of Value Case Study #177 Sep 09, 2022
    Show notes

    Visit us at shapedbydog.com

    When we train dogs with layered shaping, we train with out of the box thinking. In this episode, I'm giving a glimpse of what that looks like and how it relates to the transfer of value. It starts with knowing what a dog loves most of all. I'm also covering a case study on how we used the transfer of reinforcement value for a German Shepherd so that they could learn to retrieve without a force fetch.

    In the episode you'll hear:

    • What we need our dog to understand about reinforcement and what we need to understand. • A review of the reinforcement process in our dog training. • Why your dog's age, the location you are training, and what you are training matter. • The importance of your placement and delivery of reinforcement. • How we found something that a German Shepherd loved and used it for training. • The process of transferring the value from bubbles to food with a target stick. • Why we need to change a dog's physiology for training. • How ping-ponging reinforcements help with the transfer of value. • That there's not a linear path for all dogs, so we think outside the box. • About our brand new free DoggyFlix video streaming adventure for dog people.

    Why Your Dog's Emotions Are A Critical Element Of Dog Training #176 Sep 07, 2022
    Show notes

    Visit us at shapedbydog.com

    Having coached thousands of people in dog training, I've observed that their dogs seem to fall into three categories. The dogs who seem to hate training sessions, the dogs who are so over the top about the training they are frantic, and the dogs who are driven and focused and absolutely love it. It's not the breed of dog or their personality that determines the category, and it's not the trainer or trainer's experience; it's about understanding you're not only training a behavior but also an emotion.

    In the episode you'll hear:

    • That your dog's emotions get built into what you are training. • What "Pavlov is Always on Your Shoulder" means. • What compulsion trainers get wrong about a dog's emotions. • How to gauge your dog's emotional state for training. • My top 7 tips to help your dog love training with you. • Observations on why dogs leave work or get distracted easily. • The reason to know competing reinforcements in your dog's environment. • Why not to keep going at half speed because half speed is an emotion. • About keeping dog training sessions very short and using balance breaks. • About getting "buy in" from your dog before training begins. • That your dog is also teaching you, so believe them.

    Food Luring VS Shaping In Dog Training: How Science Changed How I Teach Dogs #175 Sep 02, 2022
    Show notes

    Visit us at shapedbydog.com

    I use shaping rather than luring with food or toys in my dog training. In the 80s, I was taught to food lure and correct, learned to do it well, and luring brought me a lot of success in obedience and agility. Luring can have benefits, but I decided to change. When I say I don't lure, it always gets a lot of comments and questions on social media, so in this episode, I'm covering the top ten reasons I prefer shaping.

    In the episode you'll hear:

    • The advantages of luring, how it can be easy to teach people, and its popularity. • What I heard from my mentors Bob and Marian Bailey about luring. • How my dog Shelby gave me my first "ah ha" about luring. • About a class I took at University and what I learned about backwards conditioning. • A review of Pavlov's experiment with bells, food, and dogs. • What happens in dog agility and other sports with luring and dogs who love to chase. • How luring can turn into bribing the dog, and that dopamine kicks in at choice points. • What I noticed about motivation and treat bags when I was teaching dog trainers in Japan. • About pattern training and its relation to luring dogs. • How the value dogs have for the food can override everything. • The reason to know what you are reinforcing when your dog sees the cookie. • That shaping gives us layers to create complex behaviors. • Why I think shaping can become part of our whole life.

    Dopamine In Dog Training: Anticipation, Rewards, And the Transfer Of Value #174 Aug 31, 2022
    Show notes

    Visit us at shapedbydog.com

    We're geeking out the topic of dopamine in dog training and how it impacts a dog's motivation. Dopamine is a type of neurotransmitter, and there's a lot of research on its relation to the drive to seek out happiness. Now, you might be wondering what it has to do with dog training but to make sure our dogs want to work with us, it's something we need to know, and it relates directly to my training protocols and transfer of value.

    In the episode you'll hear:

    • How and when dopamine gets released in a dog's brain. • About an experiment by Robert Sapolsky on dopamine spikes with a cue, behaviour, and reward. • How a dopamine spike would relate to me and vegan chocolate chip cookies. • That dopamine relates to the transfer of value in dog training (the thing before the thing). • What the research shows about the difference between luring and shaping and dopamine. • About research on blocking dopamine and how it impacts motivation. • What a suppressed level of dopamine does and how that relates to dogs. • What I've noticed with my young dog This! and how I'm particular about her training. • About foods and supplements that support healthy dopamine production. • The effects of too much dopamine and what I observed with my dog Buzz. • How I give my dogs a calm walk once a week for a dopamine detox. • Why to look at your dog training to see if your dog is getting healthy dopamine spikes.

    We use targets in our dog training, which has prompted popular questions on the best way to fade a target and when to start fading.

    • The difference between a food lure and a target. • Why targets work so well and how it starts with what your dog loves. • Why your dog's experience will influence when you can fade a target. • That the way you use a target will impact the fading of that target. • Why you want your dog to have DASH (Desire, Accuracy, Speed Habitat). • The reason to know what will replace the target, including verbal cues. • About having clarity for what you want your dog to do for the finished behavior. • Tips for when to add a cue if you are using a target. • All the steps to fading various targets, including changing the size and color. • Mistakes to avoid when you are removing a target. • Why to always believe your dog when you are training anything.

    Visit us at shapedbydog.com

    The way we dog train is different, and there are four elements that are vital to everything we do. It starts with confidence for people and their dogs and layers to grow a relationship of trust. There are many ways to use reinforcement in dog training, and our focus is on layered shaping, which might be a new concept for many people.

    In the episode you'll hear:

    • That the vast majority of people start wanting to know how to stop their dogs from doing things. • Why our first step is creating a positive conditioned emotional response for dogs, so they feel good. • That behaviour does not happen in an unemotional vacuum, and we want good emotions. • How we want to minimize, and ideally eliminate, a conflict between people and their dogs. • Why to use the things your dog loves in your training. • That our dogs have a fun life, but we want to be aware of where they earn reinforcement. • The reason to know what food, toys and activities your dog loves. • How we want to begin with our dogs doing simple things. • About using games that change our dog's physiology so they can be in their zone of genius. • That once we've established value for our dogs, we want to transfer that value. • Why our dogs want to do what we want because we empower them with choice. • How we use classical conditioning first, so the bond between dogs and people is one of trust.

    If someone says to you that they are a reinforcement-based dog trainer, what does that really mean? There are a lot of ways of training dogs with food or toys. Even though they fall under the reinforcement grouping, the different types of training are all dramatically different. We're covering what I tried in the past, what I suggest you avoid, and the most effective way to shape your dog.

    In the episode you'll hear:

    • About training dogs by luring and using food or toys as a lure. • What's termed observational learning or social learning, or sometimes modelling. • About Stella the Kelpie and Bunny the Sheepadoodle using buttons to communicate. • Some of the words that dogs understand and words that excite my dogs. • What capturing behavior means and how to get a captured behavior like a stretch or talking. • About shaping, and the critical difference between two styles used to shape a behavior. • The reason I don't free shape these days and prefer layered shaping. • How to make the correct choice for the dog the obvious choice. • Why splitting behaviours down creates confidence for dogs and give you a strong foundation.
