Course Details
Are you maximizing the power of your reinforcers? Is the value of your reinforcer paired with the effort put out by your dog? Is your reinforcer equally valuable to the complexity of the task? Does your dog struggle in the absence of a high rate of reinforcement? Do you wish your reinforcers held more value for your dog? Reinforcers drive training. They are at the core of why dogs work. Making the best use of reinforcers maximizes your training sessions. In this workshop we will explore different reinforcers, how to make reinforcers even more valuable, using them for maximum result/efficiency, how to vary the use of reinforcers to decrease dependance, how to ensure you are using the best reinforcer for YOUR dog and more.
