For my blog http://susangarrettdogagility.com/

A look at the what is possible when you train a dog without physical or verbal corrections. Wouldn't it be nice of all dogs could know this kind of joy in training?

@4c00h Secondly- In Susan’s training- which is what you are witnessing- play equals work, and work equals play. This is how she does it, from the first sit, to the eventual running of a full agility course. There is no change in technique from the initial teaching of every single training component ( I.e the sit, leaving the food, waiting, fetching) they are just taught separately with play and reward and then put together.

@4c00h If you are happy to let your dog sit after a 10 second delay, or on the 5th time of asking- you have set that understanding of your desired criteria for next time you ask, unless you decide you are not going to tolerate it. The motivation for the dog to remember to sit quickly on the first command, is the reward of running out for the toy and the game of tug.

@4c00h Firstly Swagger is not fully trained- what you are watching is a work in progress, and every small training session is a tiny building block to the next level of understanding and behaviour. Notice the point at 2.07- 2.12 when he doesn't sit on the first command? She doesn't continue the 'fun and games' until she has got that quick sit. A 'stage' can be as easy as that- not allowing sloppiness to creep in.

@4c00h Susan does do this as a paid for training course- online, as well as training seminars and camps. Please DON’T think you are looking at a fully trained dog, who is only enjoying 'fun and games' once he has been taught how to execute commands through other methods. You are missing the point- and the part where she point out he is a 6 month old pup.

This shows an already trained dog, it doesn't show how the dog got to learn all that through positive training, it's all fun and games once the dog has learnt a few tricks but where's the video that shows how you got him to that stage when he knew nothing? I want to see that without any verbal or physical correction.
