But First, Fun! Cooperative Care Training LIVE with Sara McLoudrey |
|
|
| Cooperative care makes caring for your dog safer, less stressful, and more consistent. However, teaching dogs the behaviors needed for cooperative care can intimidate even the most well-intended trainers and pet guardians. For Sara McLoudrey, cooperative-care success is achieved with fun skills and “trick-style” behaviors that reinforce the learning process for her clients and their dogs. Cooperative care does not need to be “chore-full.” It should be joyful. |

The Power of Movement: Teaching Back and Forth |
|
|
| When dogs encounter triggers, they often freeze and become rigid. This reaction not only makes it challenging to extricate both a guardian and dog from a potentially dangerous situation but it also increases the likelihood that the dog will become tense and react explosively. Teaching a dog to keep moving can help create distance between the dog and the trigger quickly, not only ensuring the dog’s safety but also providing the dog with an alternative activity in the presence of a trigger. |

CTP of the Month: Jenn Rodzinka |
|
|
| “I have been a positive reinforcement animal trainer for more than 20 years. I’ve trained dolphins, sea lions, whales, sharks, giraffes, kangaroos, camels, wolves, lemurs, and many more animal species. Despite my experience training a variety of animals, I struggled to break into the dog training world until I became certified by a respected organization. The KPA DTP program was instrumental in launching my dog training career and giving me the skills I needed to transfer training techniques to canines.” Read more from our CTP of the Month, Jenn Rodzinka. |
