Why your dog becomes a vulture on the start line
Here's a pattern a lot of handlers notice but can't quite explain: their dog has a gorgeous sit stay on the start line in training, but as soon as there’s any excitement, the dog acts like it’s rear legs are hydraulics, and it takes forrreeeeevvvver to sit. Or a dog that sits, but then almost immediately leans forward (we call that being a vulture) and you can see daylight under that fluffy butt…and they seem unresponsive to further requests to sit.

Are You Giving Credit Where Credit's Due?
Credit Assignment - it might be the most overlooked concept in dog training, mostly because it's invisible both when it's working and when it's failing. When you reward your dog, does your dog know which moment earned it? Not "was I generally doing well", but the exact instant?

Kynology 4.0 Recap Part 2
This is the second of a few emails I'll be sending out as a recap of my recent week at The Michael Ellis School For Dog Trainers in Santa Rosa, CA, where I attended Kynology 4.0, a symposium on modern dog training. My brain is pretty full right now, so I'll be splitting this in to several emails, and then converting them to blog posts here at daisypeel.com.
