Shaped by Dog with Susan Garrett

I'm often asked how to start a dog training plan, and no matter what the behaviour, my answer is always the same. We need to begin with the end in mind. Knowing how we want a behaviour to finish will create confidence and clarity for our dogs. We're looking at how back-chaining can bring you and your dog joy together in training.

In the episode you'll hear:

• How I taught my friend to ride a bicycle. • Some of the behaviors people train without thinking of the end. • Why some people say "stay, stay, stay" when teaching a sit or down. • About putting wires on fence posts. • The reason "keep going" does not make the end clear. • All about the concept of back-chaining behavior. • Why people struggle teaching duration behaviors. • About the importance of release cues. • Why I teach my dogs "out" to release a tug toy. • How back-chaining triggers what we know best. • The reason back-chaining helps people remember an agility course. • Why to chain back to what the dog loves.
