Connecting Scientific Studies on Dog Cognition to that of Common Dog Behavior Problems and the Best Method to Address Unwanted Dog Behavior.

Dog Training Is My Passion

Play Episode Play 30 sec Highlight Listen Later Feb 23, 2021 20:31

Billie uses 4 scientific studies on dog cognition to explain why we need a method grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy to address a common unwanted behavior in dogs over 6 months.In this episode we explore four cognitive abilities by introducing the studies which prove dogs have these abilities. I discuss how these abilities, although considered positive, can cause common unwanted behaviors and why suppressing these skills can increase the unwanted behavior.Memory, Emotions, Object Permanence, Object Differentiation, Dexterity, and the ability to understand that an action has a result are some of the recent trends in scientific studies. If dogs can think cognitively, and their behaviors, whether considered "good" or "bad" (wanted or unwanted) are a result of these skills, we need to harness these skills to understand these behaviors. By remaining under the Operant Conditioning umbrella (positive reinforcement and balanced training), we simply cannot harness their cognitive abilities, which explains why addressing these behaviors is often challenging or impossible. NOTE: You do not need to be a scientist or a certified dog trainer to understand the info in this episode.

Hey everybody,Mariano here! Brent and I want to thank you for your support. We've been reaching out to trainers of all different viewpoints and methods. This is mainly because we notice the crazy amount of anger and vitriol that trainers of different beliefs can sling toward each other. The most popular examples of this are the two major "factions" in dog training today, force-free and balanced trainers. With this all being said, we have been looking into a way to open a line of dialogue between these two ideals. We figured the podcast was an excellent way to do exactly that! We, therefore, have a homework assignment for each of you. Please help us reach out to pure-positive trainers who you can think of who may be willing to have a civil conversation about where the training methods agree and disagree. We recorded this episode to serve as a sort of preparation for us and our listeners, We've based the topics of this episode on our current understandings of training as well as our current understandings of the arguments presented from both sides. We're happy with the result, nonetheless, we know that there's no substitute for good ol' conversation to help us understand the divide.

With the increased popularity of Balanced Training, corrections is a hot topic in the behavioral world. Rewards are the basis of Positive Reinforcement Training. Because of this focus on rewards and corrections, many trainers and behaviourists are "missing the forest for the trees". Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which UPWARD Dogology is grounded in, uses rewards to establish the platform, but is not dependent on rewards or correction to change perception and in turn change behaviour. Is one method better that the other? Well, that depends on many factors. For a deeper look into these topics and methods, please check out the episodes in seasons 1 and 3.

Season 2 shares the learning journey of my clients with dogs with different issues and backgrounds; always interesting and a great way to feel a connections with others who have similar experiences.

In this episode, Alissa and Dona explain the E-Collar that Mountain Dog Spa uses for training.These high-quality remote collars are from E-Collar Technologies, and they give dog owners the ability to control the level of stimulation. The levels range from 1-100, and most dogs are taught commands on levels in the single digits - the very lowest level that the dog can perceive. The patented blunt stimulation of the E-Collar speaks to dogs in a clear language they truly understand. Using low-level pressure-on-pressure-off theory, dogs in Mountain Dog Spa's balanced training program are able to learn skills such as reliable recall (coming back every time the owner calls him/her). Join in next week as we build upon the ideas discussed in this E-Collar episode when Alissa teaches the step-by-step way to achieve a reliable recall with dogs.
