Overview of Dog Behavior and Learning
This seminar focuses on the basics of dog learning to help you better understand your dog and some of the basic building blocks for getting the behavior that you want.


Topics covered:

  • Demonstration with a dog of some of the skills you will learn in our training classes at Tucker Pup's (stay, come, wait, leave it, calmly walking at your side, polite greetings, etc.)

  • Why does my dog do that? (jumping on people, pulling on the leash, barking, begging for food, selective hearing, etc.) You're not alone!

  • How dogs learn. In order to have a well trained dog, the human part of the equation has to be trained. We'll discuss the "canine laws of learning."

  • How to better communicate with your dog, and technical skills you can practice that will make you a better handler.
