#Attention attention please how to#

Great course that sets ground for systematic and positive approach to the training session you always dreamt about! This course is not 'simply' about getting the attention of your dog during training, it's about looking at yourself and discovering all the little and big mistakes that you do as a handler and that don't allow your dogs to develop their learning skills. You have the option to go as deep or wide with your skills, and her excellent and pointed feedback helped me iron out some wrinkles that I was struggling with for a while, or did not even realize I would hit :) My newly adolescent dog loved going everywhere and trying the basic exercises, and by starting with this simple ask of attention and nothing else, training has started becoming something he looks forward to! Im really glad I took this class with him, and think it is a fantastic place to spend some time with your team mate, irrespective of where you are in your training journey. There is a wonderful balance of these exercises and cleverly inserted theories of learning that help you make better choices for your team in terms of planning for efficiency, clarity and setting up for success. What I loved about this class how is thoughtfully Agnieszka has planned it, starting with helping you define exactly what 'attention' means for your individual goals and then outline skills that can serve as building blocks to get to your definition of attention. I think a big reason for this is that the concept of attention has a certain je ne sais quois, and it is hard/intimidating to motivate yourself to work towards a vague goal. Funnily enough, it is also the skill that we tend to gloss over, because there are so many other *shiny* things that seem more important to work on. This course is multispecies friendly! You can join with any animal you wish!Įveryone will agree that attention is one of the most important components in a communication channel between two individuals, irrespective of species, or task.

Our “focus bubble.” We can’t teach anything if our animals don’t have the necessary skills of how to learn. You will learn how to build an errorless training session, how to define your learner’s focus, how to measure it and how to add layers to your work.īased on my experience, the majority of time caregivers, handlers experience issues in training, is when they have not taught the attention contingency. We will operationalize attention, define focus contingency.

Throughout six weeks of online learning, we will answer all these questions and much more.

This course focuses on building one of the most important skills our dogs need in training focus.īut hold on a second! What is FOCUS? What does it look like? Is it tangible? How do I know I have it? Before we start teaching our learners complicated behaviors and advanced concepts, we need to teach them how to learn.
