Study Notes
Dog Behavior and Training Insights
- Dogs possess the ability to sense human moods.
- Compassion is emphasized over judgment in canine interactions.
Space and Interaction Guidelines
- Avoid backing away when a dog invades personal space; instead, move into the dog.
- Never crouch or sit on agility equipment as it diminishes your authority and can inhibit quick movement.
- Do not pet a dog that jumps on you to prevent reinforcing unwanted behavior.
Handling and Bonding Techniques
- Regularly handle dogs to build trust; positive touch strengthens bonds.
- Be proactive by recognizing and reinforcing good behaviors in dogs.
Desensitization Techniques
- Employ body blocking to familiarize dogs with your presence in their space.
- Collar grasping should be practiced when dogs are calm, ensuring they feel comfortable.
- Slip lead desensitization helps dogs get accustomed to the leash; praise during practice reinforces positive associations.
- Crate desensitization makes crates feel like safe spaces; interact positively while introducing them to the crate.
Commands and Responses
- Common commands include "sit," name recognition, "come," and "nope."
- Use a raised closed fist while saying "sit" to prompt response, offering praise for compliance.
- For name recognition, use an upbeat tone; use sounds to gain attention if the dog does not respond.
Redirection and Control Strategies
- Techniques for door control involve teaching "dogs back" and practicing radio desensitization.
- Monitor dog behavior for stress through panting, pacing, or excessive barking, and introduce stress-relief tactics like play and praise.
Play Signals and Interaction
- Recognize play signals such as play bows, relaxed body posture, and fluid motion, indicating positive interactions.
- Intervene if dogs display distance-increasing signals, using redirection strategies and praising compliance.
Aggression and Fear Management
- Understand aggression signals: stiff bodies, low growls, and intense chasing require immediate redirection.
- Identify fear signals such as a tucked tail or hiding; encourage positive engagement from a distance to build confidence.
Behavioral Observation and Documentation
- Thoroughly document incidents and behavioral changes during shifts to monitor each dog's well-being.
- Regularly assess play dynamics to distinguish between acceptable and problematic interactions.
Rating System for Dogs
- Categorize dogs based on temperament and past experiences; ratings consider age, behavior, and social dynamics.
- Observe play combinations closely to ensure healthy interactions.
Techniques for Redirection
- Redirect dogs showing signs of needing attention through playful engagement and unique sounds; encourage positive behavior through praise.
