    Study Notes

    General Conduct in the Playroom

    • Enter playroom confidently with head held high.
    • Open-toed shoes and dangling jewelry are safety hazards when working with dogs.
    • Essential items to carry into group settings: slip lead, treat pouch, and walkie-talkie.

    Dog Behavior and Training

    • Daycare is not the best place for an aggressive dog to learn to play nicely.
    • Desensitizing involves exposing a dog to stimuli at low intensity to minimize future emotional responses.
    • Dogs learn effectively through repetition and consistency in training.

    Body Language and Commands

    • Body blocking, used to keep dogs out of no-entry zones, should be done with legs and lower body—not hands.
    • To stop a dog from barking during play, use the command "that's enough.”
    • When calling a dog, always follow the name with a command for clarity.

    Commands and Signals

    • Hand signal for "sit" is an open palm facing up.
    • Command for a dog jumping on you is "off."
    • Place slip lead high on the neck, just behind the ears.

    Providing Treats

    • If you drop a treat, step on it to prevent resource guarding.
    • Dogs can resource guard items like crates, handlers, treats, toys, or water.
    • To avoid resource guarding when giving treats, say the dog’s name before offering the treat clearly.

    Use of Commands and Responses

    • The word "yes" indicates correct behavior in dogs.
    • Keep treat pouch closed until needed for safety.
    • Intervene when a dog barks in another dog's face by giving a timeout or redirecting to another activity.

    Dog Management

    • Aroused dogs should be leashed and separated for safety.
    • Everyone should report if they witness a dog fight.
    • Even if dogs understand corrections, monitoring their interactions is essential.

    Injuries and Emergencies

    • A wound can begin bleeding within 30 minutes.
    • Situations that may lead to fights include leash entering, zoomies, and misunderstandings around corrections.
    • Dog-to-dog corrections may involve snapping, growling, barking, and showing teeth.

    Entering and Managing Dog Groups

    • Safest way to enter a room with a dog is to have them on a leash while investigating.
    • A scuffle typically involves dogs separating on their own; a fight does not.
    • If traditional methods don't work to separate fighting dogs, grab the rear legs to separate them effectively.

    Puppy Development and Training

    • Focus on quality rather than quantity when puppies enter group settings.
    • Allowing rough play may create unsafe energy in the room.
    • Puppy stages last from birth to six months; unlimited socialization is crucial during this time.

    Behavioral Management

    • Patience and consistency are key to helping adolescent dogs through their training challenges.
    • Reward puppies consistently for good behavior to reinforce positive actions.
    • First rotation on the puppy schedule is group sit without recall on the slip lead.

    Managing Rough Play

    • Redirect dogs to different activities to interrupt rough play, swapping them as needed.
    • Rough play can appear balanced; however, dogs struggling with corrections may become confused.
    • Most behavioral issues in puppies manifest between six to twelve weeks of age.

    Adolescent Phase

    • The adolescent period starts around six months of age, contributing to behavioral changes.
    • Balanced play features equal enjoyment for both dogs; imbalanced play favors one dog over the other.

    Techniques to Enhance Control

    • Standing on a dog may help them relax and gain impulse control.
    • The wait command at the gate allows dogs to pass the line but restricts them from going further.
    • For advanced wait at the gate, jiggling the gate throughout the day reinforces boundaries.

    Using a Head Halter

    • Reward dogs quickly when first putting on a head halter to create positive associations.
    • End head halter sessions on a positive note to foster a favorable experience.
    • The command "place" helps teach self-control and reinforces a calm state of mind.
