Revival Dog Training University

WHAT HAPPENS AT DAY TRAINING?

Day Training is a drop off/pick up program and we suggest your dog attend nonconsecutive days.

PRIOR TO YOUR DOG'S FIRST DAY, we set up an Intro Phone Consult to discuss what you would like to work on and your goals for your package.

DURING DAY TRAINING, we may work on basic to advanced commands (dependent on the current skill level of your dog) as well as behavior modification, reactivity, fear, desensitization, potty training, and more. Dogs in Day Training will also participate in mental enrichment games, controlled socialization, regulated play, and public field trips when ready.

Dog parents receive daily videos with the days progress and any "homework" to focus on until the next session.

How to Teach a "Down"

To teach your dog a down, you will need a piece of high value food to guide them into position. You can either lure them from a “sit” to a “down” position or simply lure them from a standing position into a “down” position. Put your treat to their nose and guide the treat straight down to their paws from nose to toes. Once you see that their belly hits the ground, use your marker word“yes-!”and reward them with a treat. Once your dog is following your lure more consistently, you can apply the word “down” before you begin to lure, and begin to pair your release word at the end. If your dog gives up or you see that your dog is getting frustrated, go ahead and reward them halfway for a few times. Try to lure them further each time. When your dog successfully goes down all the way, give your dog a few treats in a row (jackpot). Tips: Down and OFF are two different words. The "OFF" command is used to tell a dog to get its paws off of something. It may be the kitchen counter, your bed, the living room couch, or anything else you don't want your dog on.

Clicker Training

The clicker is the scalpel of training tools. It is often used as a conditioned or secondary reinforcer, which predicts a primary reward. The clicker captures a moment in time, such as a correct behavior or action, which helps a dog identify a specific criteria.

How to Teach a "Place"

A place command is about teaching your dog to remain on a boundary or a specific area, such as their bed. The dog must stay within their boundary no matter what is happening around them and until they are told otherwise. If you have a dog that jumps on your guest, barks at the doorbell, or hovers around you while you cook or eat, perhaps teaching them a place command is probably one of the best things you can teach your dog. The first thing you want to teach your dog is to get on and off the bed by luring them on and off with a treat. Each time you do so, apply your cue “place” as you are luring them on as soon as all 4 paws are on the place bed, drop their reward onto their place. When you are ready to release them, say your release word “free”.
