The Dog's Way Podcast: Dog Training for Real Life8 Okt 2014

Session 2: Starting out – Are you having some "policy" disagreements with your dog?

In this podcast episode I discuss the start of training. In my "in -person" lessons we all start out at the same place. Whether someone just got a rescue dog a few weeks ago or whether they paid tens of thousands of dollars for a "fully trained" dog, we all start out assessing three things.

First, relationship, then basic "core" skills (including the one core skill that makes any dog a "good dog") and lastly we address "policies". One of the challenges in starting with a new client is that everyone calls me with what I label a "policy disagreement" with their dog. That is, their dog has one set of default rules and their owner would like them to have another.

Before throwing down the new policy manual, (to be fair to your dog) we have to see if they have the basic "core" skills to do the kinds of policies that you want them to do and before we address basic skills, we have to clarify the relationship. At the end of this podcast, I leave you with some "observational" homework so you can start assessing those three areas right away (relationship, basic skills, and policies).
