Kollade på om jag kan lära min hund att skälla på kommando. Första steget är att få den att skälla ... min hund skäller aldrig. Har hört enstaka ggr, tror han va rädd då.
Kanske ska skippa det tricket bara -

An abbreviated set of Swim Fun retrieves (due to high air temps) is still a good set of Swim Fun retrieves.

A bit of intro to Nose Work for this young dog! Which box has a piece of cheese hidden in it?

had a new training client consult today, and they signed up for five lessons! they said it's their first dog as adults, and they are definitely at least 70-80 years old. super nice folks and a sweet young dog who just needs some guidance on how to navigate our annoying human world.

🐕 TIL: Dogs copy us even when it makes zero sense. Half of dogs will touch a pointless dot on the wall or flip a dead lever before getting their treat, just because their person did it first.
That behavior is overimitation, and researchers thought it was uniquely human. Great apes never do it. Dogs do it most with their own caregiver, which points to a social motive: copying keeps them in the game.
The evidence is solid. Johnston et al. 2017 found half of dogs and dingoes copied both actions. Huber et al. 2018 replicated it in Vienna. A 2023 follow-up found 85% of overimitation happened after the dog already got the reward, which kills the confusion theory.
Dogs also anticipate what their caregiver will do next and sync their behavior to match. A 2020 ethics review from Vetmeduni Vienna pulls this all together and argues it creates real duties: we owe dogs the chance to flourish, not just protection from harm.
The catch: they will pick up your bad habits too. Copying "seemingly unproductive or dysfunctional" strategies is part of the package.

The strong SE breeze blew up some nice waves on the creek that Jon enjoyed busting through on his retrieves.

@sinabhfuil I'm a big fan! One of the reasons I got a dog myself was to explore this. I must admit it has been a considerable challenge. I know I've messed up a lot, but It doesn't help that everyone around me (including dog trainers) thinks this is nonsense and that you need to "dominate" your dog. Socialisation was a disaster e.g. I'd introduce my puppy to someone, she'd bark, they'd shout at her and start explaining to me about alphas, dominance and Cesar Millan 🤮

my first dog training clients (outside of friends) "graduated" yesterday. their hound dog rescue is such a sweet boy, and they said they'd seen massive improvements on walks and in his behavior at home.
nothing about the dog was particularly challenging, but it was nice to see them progress as dog owners, too. i could see the dog/human relationship get better over the past couple of months. warms my stupid, dog-obsessed heart. 💝
