https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5c9sybBj90 Day 19 is one of my favourites. That’s cause it’s something I use all the time in my training and now I got some nice words for it. The 3Ds stands forDurationDistanceDistraction It’s a way to proof your trained behaviours and get them very good and steady. In the course we are supposed to …
Det var ju sjukt kul! Jag var pepp hela dagen på att äntligen få en utvärdering på vår träning. Jag var inte 100% säker på hur tävlingen, reglerna eller protokollet skulle se ut innan vi var där. Innan fick jag reda på att det var ett område, både inne och ute som skulle sökas av. …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deKlikwe4_A At day 18 we learn how to build plans. I normally plan my training as I find training inefficient if it’s not used. My plans are somehow a bit different, and also varying depending on what I’m doing. Some things need more careful planning, and others I already started and have a pretty good …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKoEYWfwqiQ Day 17 is about tracking progress from a plan with specific criteria. This is an efficient way to go forward in training. To takes steps necessary for progress and not get stuck. However, this way of tracking progress is a bit difficult for me since it’s very static. I’m not a behaviourist and think …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Jm8L-PkFg On day 16 we get to try to record data concerning the rate of reinforcement. How many times do I reward in a certain time? I believe that this exercise is mostly to show how rewards are very different and need to be considered before starting a new task. When working on small details …
https://youtu.be/vC5ROgAC1a8 Day 15 covers visual targeting. According to SOCS it can be useful for several reasons, but the one I find interesting is to be able to tell a dog that got problems meeting other dogs, that there is one coming. ”Do you see it?” kind of thing. I work a lot with ”gossip training” …
https://youtu.be/t3YvVLNUwXE Day 14 is about targeting. It’s funny because I didn’t know this would be in the course, but it’s exactly what we’ve been working on lately. I have signed up for a competition in scent detection and therefore I have been focusing on that for a bit. I’m a lot of days behind on …
Day 13 is about punishment which is a really sensitive subject. I realise that no matter how I write it, there are gonna be people that disagree. So I will start with saying that there is nothing saying that you need to do what other people are telling you, if it doesn’t feel right for …
Day 12 is about Operant Conditioning. This is something that get many people confused (including me, I realised). Operant conditioning is about consequences to behaviours. For example, the dog sits leads to it getting treats (sit = behaviour, adding treats = consequence). This can either make the sit happen more often, or make it happen …
https://youtu.be/iXEtWdqurnk Day 11 covers catching natural behaviour. I chose to teach Karma to shake on command because she loves swimming and always shakes on us. Just got through the first steps, but I did what I was supposed to, which was to arrange the environment so the behaviour was more likely to occur. I learnt …
