Contents Insights from Chapter 1 Insights from Chapter 2
Insights from Chapter 1

#1

There are ten fundamental concepts for training dogs, no matter what you’re teaching them to do. Make sure you address these concepts first before moving on to more complex issues.

#2

The most important aspect of training your dog is establishing a strong bond with him. This takes time, so be patient and understanding with your dog. If you can get your dog playing with you, you will be on the right track toward building a tight bond.

#3

To build a strong relationship with your dog, you must be a good pet parent in other ways. Feeding your dog healthy food, making sure he gets plenty of water, taking him for regular vet visits, and giving him basic affection are critical.

#4

When developing your training strategy, consider your dog’s energy level and individual personality. Understanding your dog’s energy level can help you get to the root of why she might be having behavioral issues.

#5

Level one dogs are typically calm, laid-back couch potatoes. They are happy just to take a few short walks with you, and then they'll basically chill out for the rest of the day. Don't expect a level one dog to play vigorously for long periods of time or learn very advanced or athletic tasks.

#6

Level two dogs have more physical and mental stamina than level one dogs. They are great for people who want to have a hands-on role in teaching their dogs but don’t want exercising their dogs to completely take over their lives.

#7

The more energy a dog has, the more teachable she is. However, these dogs are not for the casual pet parent as they are high maintenance. They require a lot of time and effort to train.

#8

The fastest way to get your dog to exercise is to teach them fetch, which is where they chase a toy, pick it up, and promptly return it in a straight line. This satisfies many of the traits we selected for in the past, such as traits used in hunting.

#9

Some dogs just aren’t into fetch, and this is fine. You can still provide your dog with exercise by taking walks or hiking, or by looking into dog sports and other activities that she may enjoy.

#10

When it comes to exercise, you have to be careful with puppies because their growth plates, the areas of soft cartilage tissue found at the end of a young dog’s long bones, are still soft and open. If an injury does occur, your dog’s growth can be stunted.

#11

Knowing how much exercise your dog needs is an essential part of raising her. For high-energy dogs, forty-five minutes to one hour of exercise per day, four to five days a week is recommended. Moderate- to lower-energy dogs may require less than that.

#12

Outside-in training doesn’t help build a strong relationship with your dog. It forces your dog to do something she doesn’t want to do, and doesn’t help her learn the right way to behave.

#13

When you motivate your dog to want to listen to you rather than forcing her to comply with your demands, you are on the road to actually teaching your dog. You must take the time to sit with your dog and work through the problems, and be patient.

#14

Controlling a dog’s environment is key in preventing them from acquiring bad habits. Having your dog attached to you with a leash as often as possible is the best way to keep control of them.

#15

dog trainers and behaviorists use the term punishment to describe the unpleasant outcome that is associated with not complying with a command. You should always praise your dog when she does something you like, but you must also use your dog’s currency to reinforce desired behaviors.

#16

Food is the most common motivator for dogs. When training, use a high-value food reward almost exclusively. The size of food rewards should be between the size of a grain of rice and a pea.

#17

Play as a currency is when you reward your dog for doing something you ask, by giving him a few seconds of tug-of-war or a brief toss of a ball. It is also worth trying to use play as a currency, since it can make all the difference in your dog’s willingness to keep learning and training.

#18

The idea of intermittent reinforcement is to keep your dog guessing. You should start rewarding your dog randomly, maybe 75 percent of the time at first, then 40 percent, then 90 percent, and then 20 percent.

#19

You can use your dog’s environment to reward good behavior. For example, when teaching your dog to stay at a doorway leading to the outside, not letting her run into the yard until she’s held a ten-second stay can be a significant motivator.

#20

Primary training sessions are for teaching your dog new skills. They should be conducted in a place where you have total control over the environment, and your dog should be able to focus on you.

#21

The next level of primary training is surprise primary sessions, when you attempt to introduce variables that mimic real-life distractions. These are still planned on your end, but your dog should have no notice that a training session is about to occur.
