However, effective training extends beyond these sessions—it happens all day, every day! When you reward positive behavior choices throughout the day, you encourage your dog to repeat those actions.

How to Transfer a Cue https://karenpryoracademy.com/how-to-transfer-a-cue-2/ https://karenpryoracademy.com/how-to-transfer-a-cue-2/#respond Fri, 01 Sep 2023 16:27:08 +0000 https://karenpryoracademy.com/?p=23194 Have you ever wondered how to change a cue? You may need to change a cue for various reasons, including to clarify a cue or to make the cue more versatile. Two cues may be too similar; your dog may confuse “stretch” and “fetch,” for example. Or you may need to deliver a cue from a distance. In these and other circumstances, knowing how to transfer a cue efficiently is important.

Thinking Outside the Treat Pouch: Secondary Reinforcers https://karenpryoracademy.com/thinking-outside-the-treat-pouch-secondary-reinforcers/ https://karenpryoracademy.com/thinking-outside-the-treat-pouch-secondary-reinforcers/#respond Wed, 19 Feb 2020 15:31:46 +0000 https://karenpryoracademy.com/?p=10527 When you give your dog a treat for a job well done, you are using a primary reinforcer, which is something that an animal needs to survive (i.e., food, water, shelter). While food reinforcers can be extremely useful, adding non-food reinforcers, or secondary reinforcers, will help you expand your skill set by giving you alternatives for influencing behavior. This is a particularly useful tool when working with animals from a distance (competition training), managing exotic animals, performing husbandry behaviors, or any situation where it’s not safe or appropriate to use treats.

It is also helpful building cooperation during medical procedures (vaccinations, medication administration, and eye and ear care), and grooming.
