23.01.2022 ADOLESCENCE: As dogs go through adolescence, it’s safe to say things turn a little topsy-turvy! If you’re currently at this stage and feeling like you’ve take...n one step forward and two steps back, don’t panic! During this stage of life, there’s a lot going on in their busy little brains. Here are three facts about the adolescent brain 1. The inhibitory neurons of the amygdala that help to dampen down emotional responses don’t fully mature until the END of adolescence. 2. Communication between the frontal cortex and amygdala, which is essential for skills training, decreases during adolescence. 3. Extinction memory is impaired during adolescence, so if your dog has a bad experience it’s much more likely to lead to a ‘hard wired’ fear memory. Have patience and compassion as you support and guide your dog through this vulnerable period of brain development.

01.01.2022 When people hear ‘positive reinforcement’ they think of treats. This is a very limited understanding of a scientific equation, the same way thinking about alge...bra as just letters instead of numbers is hugely downplaying what can be achieved when fully understanding the principles behind it all. And just like algebra, you won’t understand it wll within a week or two or a month or so. The chances are there will always be something more to learn - and if it isn’t working, it’s not because ‘positive reinforcement’ doesn’t work. It’s much more likely that we haven’t put in the work to understand how to use it effectively. If you think it’s not working, don’t think it’s because positive reinforcement doesn’t work. Assume it’s most likely that you’re lacking in knowledge somewhere and ask someone who’s more knowledgeable for help. And yes, there will always be someone out there that knows a little bit more than you do. And that’s perfect. That’s how we get better. www.patreon.com/thinkdogtraining
