My name is Deb and I’m an “unbalanced” trainer :-/ | K9infocus's Blog
https://k9infocus.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/my-name-is-deb-and-im-an-unbalanced-trainer
Just another WordPress.com weblog. My name is Deb and I’m an “unbalanced” trainer :-/. May 8, 2013 in Uncategorized. This is my opinion, based on my experiences with dogs over the past 20 years and my understanding of behavioral science (which is pretty damn good! So if you strongly disagree with me, write your own blog about it. The term “unbalanced” certainly sounds bad. Maybe I have a mental illness or am unstable? So what is the opposite of primarily positive reinforcement? Negative punishment isn...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. The Perfect Dog: The Concept of Balance in Dog Training. May 20, 2013 in Uncategorized. What do you think of when you hear the word balanced? This is Baby Star on her balance board. Once when we were working on weave poles in the back yard (his least favorite obstacle which was entirely my fault) he want to the furthest corner of the yard and sat with his back to me.

Just another WordPress.com weblog. 8220;Discussions” about dog training. May 13, 2013 in Uncategorized. So I’ve been having a “discussion” on Facebook with a self-proclaimed balanced trainer about my last blog. And following my policy of being honest and telling the truth on my blog here goes. This person only “knows” me from a few postings. Yet she has made some very negative and specific judgments about me and about my choices for the dog sports and venues I choose.

The general plan includes:. 1 All the stuff in the bottom crisper drawer of my fridge. Usually onions, peppers, carrots, greens, mushrooms, and so on. But somehow I always end up wit...

It was so awesome! Star, on the other hand, has totally different issues. She is much more serious about her work, but she can als...
