Inevitably, the training falls apart, the dog is triggered, the handler is embarrassed or upset, and the trainer is disappointed. Why does this happen so often? This webinar dives into what you need to know to help reactive dogs through carefully controlled set-ups. Attendees will learn: The pitfalls of "training in the wild" How to recognize pause button vs uncontrolled variables Assessing individual dog's triggers (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, social, chase) Applying the Trainers' Mixing Board: Distance, Intensity & Duration Understanding and using Line of View and Field of View If you’ve ever wished for a PAUSE button on life to help a reactive dog, this webinar is for you.
