A Year in Review: What Did We Learn?

The seminar in Mexico was Bart's last seminar for 2013. There were fantastic young dogs in Mexico. The good young dogs are trained too quickly in the competition drills.

If we prepare our dog for competition, do we prepare him using a Peaking System or Stimulus Control?

The peaking system is when we give help in training (positive or negative reinforcement) and then as we diminish that help, we figure out how long the dog will do the behaviors we desire with no help. Sometimes this is one training. Sometimes this is two trainings. Fewer times, this is three trainings. When the ...
