When Unexpected Things Happen in Training
As an adolescent, Belle is prone to sudden bouts of unexpected challenges brought on by lack of impulse control, unusual fears, and random struggles. We had something I totally didn't expect to happen during a simple training session last week so I called in a few Canine Coaches and put together this Training Session Review for you.
One of the simple tips for improving your training sessions is to record them occasionally. Most of my training happens regularly throughout the day in 1-3 minutes as needed to keep our teamwork & communication strong. Then about once a week I do a "formal" training session with a starting place, a desired end goal, and hopefully some well planned steps in-between. A few times a week, I try to pull out my phone and video the training that I'm doing. Most of the time, it's simply a fun video for my social media accounts. But occasionally something goes wrong while I'm getting that video. (Things go wrong all the time, but not typically when I'm recording!) Those mistakes or unexpected problems are a great resource for helping me with better planning for future sessions.
When it comes to dog training, to worry about making mistakes. We all make mistakes! Instead, get some video when you're struggling then replay it a few days later and create a plan to learn from your mistakes!
Email me a video or two and I will help you figure out how you can tweak it just a little to make it better! Send emails to yooperpaws@gmail.com if you'd like a video review.
