How Dogs Learn
To clarify a question about whether I was saying anything on the video’s last week
Training Steps: A new alphabet
B-C-A
Maximizes learning & the quality of the final behavior performance
B = Behavior: Get itC = Consequence: Give itA = Antecedent or A Signal: Add after behavior is strong, insert before behavior
![Page 3: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
How Dogs Learn
Training Steps
B = Behavior: Get the dog to perform the desired behavior
Capture: R+ dog doing behavior
Shape: R+ parts of the behavior working closer to the end behavior
Lure: Use of food or toy as a guide to where you want the dog then R+
![Page 4: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How Dogs Learn
Training Steps
C = Consequence:
R+
When the dog does the behavior- Capturing
When the dog does part of the behavior- Shaping
As the dog follows the food into position or partial position - Luring
![Page 5: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How Dogs Learn
Training Steps
A = Antecedent or Cue: Add after the dog becomes good at the behavior, cue will pair with the end behavior performance (usually better than beginning)
Cue is presented just before the dog does the behavior = Classical Conditioning
R+ as usual
![Page 6: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Dog Training & Operant Conditioning
Dog Training Methods - Negative Reinforcement
Remove an unpleasant stimulus to increase behavior being repeated
Often positive punishment as well or at least an aversive stimulus
Have to add it to stop it
Examples:– Stop collar pressure when dog sits– Stop pushing on hindquarters when dog sits
![Page 7: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Dog Training & Operant Conditioning
Dog Training Methods – Negative ReinforcementNegative Reinforcement Pro’s:
• May get some behaviors happening quickly• If dog will not or cannot eat treats• Teaching self control
Negative Reinforcement Con’s:• Dog associating something unpleasant with
trainer and or situation• Physical damage to dog depending on technique• Requires excellent timing
![Page 8: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Dog Training & Operant Conditioning
Dog Training Methods – Negative Reinforcement
CAT: Constructional Aggression TreatmentA method developed by Jesus Rosales-Ruis & Kellie Snyder
Uses Negative Reinforcement
To shape calm behaviors to replace aggressive displays
towards dogs and humans
Seminars and a 10 hr DVD is available
Very new so all the pro’s and con’s are not yet known
Many use this with R+ (more on this when I talk on reactive dogs)
![Page 9: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Dog Training & Operant Conditioning
Dog Training Methods – Negative Punishment
Remove a pleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior being repeated
Examples:• Puppy biting hands: leave puppy• Jumping up: turn back ignore dog
Advanced training examples:• Dog breaks a start line stay for agility: dog does not
get to run the course (assuming lots of stay work)
![Page 10: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Dog Training & Operant Conditioning
Dog Training Methods – Negative PunishmentNegative Punishment Pro’s
• A benign way to stop unwanted behavior• Generally not harmful physically or mentally
Negative Punishment Con’s• Must be consistent otherwise you may be rewarding the unwanted behavior sometimes which is unfair
![Page 11: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Dog Training & Operant Conditioning
Dog Training Methods – Positive PunishmentAdding an unpleasant stimulus directed at the dog to decrease/stop a behavior
Examples:• Pulling or jerking on the leash for pulling
Choke Collars, Pinch Collars• Electronic collars, spray or shock
Running away/not coming, barking, fence• Spray bottles for barking
![Page 12: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Dog Training & Operant Conditioning
Dog Training Methods – Positive PunishmentPositive Punishment Pro’s:
• Stop unwanted behavior quickly at least short termPositive Punishment Con’s:
• Dog associating something unpleasant with trainer and or situation
May increase or create fear and or aggression• Physical damage to dog depending on the technique• Learned helplessness• Excellent timing required
![Page 13: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Dog Training & Operant Conditioning
Dog Training Methods – Summary• Positive Reinforcement is least damaging• Negative Punishment a safe addition• Negative Reinforcement occasionally useful• Positive Punishment mostly avoid
When training behaviors I use mostly PR some NR
When stopping unwanted behaviors I use NP when
possible and PP if needed.
When I use PP it is usually citronella spray

Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Is there a difference
Pet Dog vs. Competitive Dog
Hopefully not for most
Most of time - they are our pets
Some of the time – Our competition partners, but at the end of the day
many sleep on our pillow!
![Page 25: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Pet Dog Training
What does the average pet owner need
Walk on leash, come when called, don’t jump on people, socialization
AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) covers the basics and is helpful with insurance companies
![Page 26: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Pet Dog Training
What does the average pet owner WANT
Often just one of the previously mentioned, come, not pull, not jump
Needs to be a package for success -
A complete program will build a relationship for success throughout the dogs life
![Page 27: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Pet Dog Training
Methods:
Positive Reinforcement training will set up a good relationship for life
clicker is my 1st choice
average pet owners does well with the clicker
clicker training gives the owner the tools needed to teach the dog beyond a class
![Page 28: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Pet Dog Training
I have taught pet classes with the following methods:
Traditional
NR, PP, R+
Volhard/Fisher (80’s)
Modeling, R – with R+
Beginning shaping (no clicker)
Lure/Reward
Clicker – works best in my opinion
![Page 29: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Pet Dog Training – Advanced classes
Many pet owners get into advanced training as a way to keep training a young dog and keep it interesting
“Bowling night” for some handlers
Dogs that are more difficult (ex. higher energy, more independent) often need training classes to polish and maintain behaviors
![Page 30: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Pet Dog Training – Advanced classes
Advanced classes sometimes leads to a new life that has gone to the dogs!
For example…
Conformation, Rally-O, Obedience, Freestyle, Agility, Fly-ball, Tracking, Hunting, Earth dog, Lure Coursing, Herding, Schutzhund, French Ring Sport, Dock Diving, Disc …
![Page 31: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Competitive Dog
Dog Sports can be just for fun or competition
Competition can be casual or serious
Dog Sports should be FUN no matter what!
Over the past 25 years I have competed in
Conformation, Obedience, Tracking, Agility & Earth dog
Hopefully I will be adding herding to the list!
![Page 33: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Competitive Dog
A job for the dog ? Or A dog for the job ?
there can be a big difference
If you are a Bulldog owner or breeder and you want to do agility you may be limited in competitive ability
Not a bad thing just reality
![Page 34: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Competitive Dog
A job for the dog ? Or A dog for the job ?
If you want to be highly competitive a Bulldog is probably not the best choice for you
If you want to have fun with YOUR dog/s you can do almost anything with any dog within reason!
![Page 35: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Competitive Dog
A job for the dog ? Or A dog for the job ?
You are allowed to change from one to the other or have both!
Example: I bred Springer's for 12 years and did things with them for better or worse!
Fell in love with agility and wanted to finish championships and compete at nationals so got a PRT and next went for the BC
![Page 36: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Competitive Dog
A job for the dog ? Or A dog for the job ?
But part of me wants another Springer to do agility in the future, I guess I like the challenge!
The important thing is to remember it is all for fun and you love your dog whether they perform well or not
![Page 37: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Competitive Dog
Training needed:
Same as a pet for starters
Basic control: sit,down,stay,come,walk on leash
Foundation exercises for sport of choice if known
Socialization as preparation for life in chosen sport
![Page 38: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Competitive Dog
Training methods:
R+ can work for most behaviors needed
P- and Pre-Mack work well where more is needed
Example: Earth dog recalls, click and treat means nothing to Steiff when rats are present. So I use seeing the rats as the reward for coming away from the den
![Page 39: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Pet Dog and Competitive DogJob Opportunities!
Competitive Dog
Training methods:
There is a lot of; “this is how it has been done”
which prolongs the use of punishment in some instances.
There are people pioneering clicker training in field training where electronics are the norm as well as in herding
![Page 40: Learned Dog class 11 April 21, 2008 Dog Training.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Freestyle
“Canine Freestyle is a choreographed performance organized with music, illustrating the training and joyful relationship of a dog and handler team.
