Canine Learning Theory
Personalized Attention: Small class sizes allow us to focus intensively on each dog and handler pair, addressing specific needs and challenges.
Real-world Application: Our unique approach ensures that your dog not only excels in a controlled environment but also behaves reliably in real-world settings without the use of aversive tools.
Confidence Building: Boost your dog's confidence as they successfully navigate various situations with positive and force-free guidance.
-
Dogs learn by linking neutral stimuli with meaningful ones, a process known as classical conditioning.
-
Dogs learn through consequences: positive reinforcement (rewarding desired behavior), negative reinforcement (removing aversive stimuli), positive punishment (adding aversive stimuli), and negative punishment (removing pleasant stimuli).
-
Yes, dogs can learn by observing and imitating behaviors of humans or other dogs, a concept called observational learning.
-
Habituation is dogs getting used to repeated stimuli, and desensitization involves gradual exposure to reduce fear or reactivity, both crucial in helping dogs adapt to their surroundings.
