\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Developing a framework for obedience that you are comfortable with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The importance of having a solid foundation before progressing onto more advanced skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Compartmentalizing behaviors that can then be called upon or strung together in different orders, rather than pattern training behaviors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Learning theory, understanding conditioning theory (both operant \u2013 positive\/additive and negative\/subtractive consequences – and classical \u2013 learning through association).\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The five schedules of reinforcement \u2013 fixed ratio, variable ratio, fixed interval, variable interval, and random.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Key Takeaways:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Having a framework, and a conceptual understanding, for training allows you to go back a few steps in training if needed as you understand the training progression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Once you have a framework, then look at what behaviors you need to plug in and train within the framework.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Tangible rewards are meaningful. We can manage those tangible rewards so it is a variable reward, but don\u2019t take away rewards for only praise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The dog needs to learn there\u2019s not just a reward for doing a behavior, but there is also a consequence for not doing the behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You must teach the dog how to resolve the behavior of non-compliance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Both motivation and compulsion, used properly, are key elements to the training progression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
“You\u2019ve got a framework, within that framework you\u2019ve got your training progressions. Your framework gives you the big view, the macro view. The progressions give you the micro view of all the individual things that you have to train. And then together you have to look at that and compartmentalize your training.”\u00a0<\/em>\u2014\u00a0 Jerry Bradshaw\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Get Jerry’s book\u00a0Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Contact Jerry:\u00a0<\/p>\n Website:\u00a0https:\/\/controlledaggressionpodcast.com\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Tarheel Canine Training:\u00a0http:\/\/www.tarheelcanine.com\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Youtube:\u00a0http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/tarheelcanine<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Twitter:\u00a0https:\/\/twitter.com\/tarheelcanine<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Facebook:\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TarheelCanineTraining<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Protection Sports Website:\u00a0http:\/\/psak9.org\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Train Hard, train smart, be safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Show notes by\u00a0Podcastologist\u00a0Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
