Train dog based on social learning ? Yes!
Recent research suggests that dogs can engage in social learning which includes the ability to observe the actions of other dogs and imitate them to learn new behaviors. The big news for dog trainers is that author Claudia Fugazza and her colleagues in Europe have discovered that dogs can also imitate people. This natural skill can be used to teach dogs new behaviors using the Do As I Do protocol presented in this book-DVD combination. The Do As I Do method is particularly useful in working with service dogs and canine athletes who must masters skills such as ringing a bell, jumping over a hurdle, spinning and dozens more.
Learn about:
The fascinating research which shows that dogs can observe, then imitate human behavior and remember it over time.
How you can start with a known behavior, then teach the dog to perform the behavior after observing you demonstrate it, followed by the new cue Do it! Eventually the dog learns that Do it! means to do whatever has just been demonstrated by the trainer.
How this method can build a closer bond between you and your dog, bring new energy and joy to your training efforts and challenge your thinking about how dogs learn.
Since the first edition of this book was published, scientific advances have moved rapidly and there have been many new discoveries on a dog's social learning skills and the most relevant ones are now included in the new edition. These provides insights into a dogs' mind, and are written by a scientist studying dog cognition, in a language intelligible for the public.
A modification to the Do As I Do protocol reflects the significance of the Foundation Phase, which, while often the most time-consuming, is crucial for success in all following phases.
The Second Edition contains self-assessment tests, which ensure both the owner and the dog are ready before moving on to the next phase of training. This edition also includes troubleshooting examples, which provide practical solutions to common challenges that may arise during training.
