Mastering cue discrimination is a crucial part of training your dog. This skill ensures that your canine companion responds accurately to specific verbal cues, even in the presence of unchanged environmental stimuli. But how can you be sure that your dog truly comprehends a cue? A useful method to assess this comprehension is to practice the delivery of two distinct verbal cues while maintaining the same nonverbal cue. |

CTP of the Month: Dante Fabricio Felizardo Camacho |
|
|
| “The most important training advice I could give new trainers is to keep studying and stay curious. Dog training is always evolving. There are always new things to learn. One thing that really helps me improve my own training is watching myself training. I see the good stuff that I'm doing in training as well as where I can improve. I am my own teacher.” Discover more about Dante Fabricio Felizardo Camacho and his love of canine agility, working with baboons, and more! |
