Description:

This is a 2 1/2 hour filmed lecture and lab conducted by Emily Larlham at the Pet Professional Guild’s first Educational Summit held in Tampa, Florida in 2015.

One of the first steps to training a dog is building a relationship together. In this lecture and lab Emily covers what she believes to be the 4 essential components to building a successful relationship and training foundation. For Emily, the key elements are: Trust, Connection, Communication, and Choice.

During the working lab, dog and handler teams have a chance to work on exercises for each of the key components, including:

  • Teaching the dog to want to choose the handler over everything.
  • Proofing attention with distractions.
  • Teaching luring as a complex behavior and way to communicate.
  • Teaching the dog the toy is most reinforcing when presented to the handler to be played with together.

Running Time: 2 1/2 hours
