Group 48 - Positive Reinforcement Training - Week 6
Today’s class gave us a chance to focus on one dog at a time without the dynamics of all the other dogs shaping the interaction. It gave us a clearer look at each dog’s individual personality, behavior, and communication.
Working one handler-dog team at a time while the rest of the group observes is an incredibly powerful format. As each team works, the rest of the group gets to watch the coaching, timing, body language, and interactions unfold in real time, creating a tremendous amount of learning for everyone involved.
By the end of class, everyone was talking about how calm and focused dogs that are normally chaotic or overstimulated had become, and how meaningful the experience felt. Really great job today, and wonderful to see this group continuing to come together to support each other and the dogs so well.
