All the hard work is paying off. Many, many hours have gone into proofing an auto 'leave it'. And now she can walk over and past bones, greasy takeout containers, and smelly paper towels, and leave them alone in exchange for a tasty treat from her handler! 🥳

This is huge. She has had several obstruction scares so this skill is so important. My heart is bursting with pride!

Had a short training session working on loose leash walking 😊 We’re still working through the Leash Walking Connected course from Emily Larlham/Kikopup. Sjiriki is doing really well! We’re now at a point where we’re practicing on and around our driveway, and I’m hoping to transition these new skills to our actual walks soon 🤞

Did a bit of training in the yard working on loose leash walking basics! We’re currently working through the leash walking course from Emily Larlham/Kikopup 😊 Despite Sjiriki’s remaining pain symptoms he has been really wanting to do more, so a bit of training is a great low impact way to give him some extra enrichment!

Good Idea: Encouraging Positive Reinforcement

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/longing-nostalgia/201705/why-shaming-doesnt-work

Shaming others, whether for their actions or inherent traits, often leads to negative outcomes like social withdrawal, low self-esteem, and even depression. While it may temporarily deter certain behaviors, it can also drive harmful actions into secrecy or worsen psychological distress. Instead of shaming, fostering positive reinforcement and affirming self-worth can guide better behavior and nurture healthier relationships. Rewarding desirable actions is more effective and helps individuals internalize positive attributes.

Why Shaming Doesn't Work

Many people consider shaming an acceptable way of changing behavior. But is it? Research reveals that shame is a complex emotion.

So in the midst of chemotherapy, everything is a road back into reinforcement of a healthy training relationship with my dog. I will probably be back to more or less regular energy next week but infusion week means I need her brain engaged and no big expectations on me. I'm wobbly and tired. So in order to keep letting her have dog-led walks sniffing on a long line I jack my treat quality up enough to remind her We're Working and then every time she gets to a cross street way ahead of me I work wait, then focus or look and then heel across the street. Do I do this normally? Nah but in my ideal world we'd have a handoff back and forth over who is driving. I want it, I call it. I give it back to her when I'm done she gets to trot a bit further. The fact I'm using the Good Treats reminds her she can potentially earn something worth her trouble by giving me more attention. At home when there's nothing in my tank, I'm making her take a treat off her own flank or doing another stretch, trying to teach her to raise a specific paw (1-4) or give me a giant bow as a stretch. I have extreme limp noodle energy but if her brain is engaged she's good with it. We are patient with each other. Day in day out she's the best company #dogs #dogsOfMastodon #positiveReinforcement #dogConditioning
