Understanding Our Dogs: Essential Insights for Bite Prevention
Bite Prevention Week: Empowering Dog Parents to Keep Our Furry Friends Safe This week marks Bite Prevention Week, a topic that resonates deeply with me as a fellow dog parent and advocate. It’s heart-wrenching to know that many dog bites can be prevented—up to 60% of them, in fact. If we have the power to prevent these incidents, we should take steps to do so. As I began my journey as a dog…

i swear i´m gonna start biting dog trainers if they don´t stop comparing dogs with behavioural issues to autistic people
#i´m already a bit tired of the constant comparison to children because dogs are not children and i understand that with some people#you have to use that language to make them understand that positive reinforcement is a better way to train dogs than beating the shit out o#them but at a certain point you have to use appropriate language for the animals you actually work with#but that whole thing aside. people with autism are not dogs. you can´t just uncritically talk about clicker training autistic children in#your dog training books and blogs.#like unrelated to opinions on behavioural therapy for children you just CAN NOT compare people who have a mental disability to animals#either they stop or they will be bitten by me the autistic guy called Bark

The Power of Positive Reinforcement: Why It Works for Dog Training
If you want to train your dog, you want to use methods that work and help you bond with your dog. Positive reinforcement is one way that works and can help owners and their furry friends form a strong bond. Because she runs her own company and specializes in positive reinforcement dog training, Jessica L. Fisher knows a lot about this power. Instead of punishing destructive behaviors, like sitting when told to or walking quietly on a leash, this method focuses on rewarding good ones. This examines why positive reinforcement works so well for training dogs.
What is Positive Reinforcement Dog Training?
Training using positive reinforcement is a method of training dogs when a trained dog is rewarded with praise for a well-done job. Unlike punishment and all those negative ways of doing it, positive reinforcement uses rewards and creates good associations to alter dangerous behaviours. Consequently, using treats, praise, or toys to bowl over good behaviour is one of these features. Dogs get their reward when they do something you want them to do, such as being in the position you ask them to, just like when they sit when you ask. Such correlations are more likely to affect the degree of their relationship. This way of positive reinforcement dog training forms a strong bond between the owner and their dog as they spend a lot of time together learning new tricks.
Why Does Positive Reinforcement Work?
Creates a Stronger Bond
You and your pet friend become closer when you give your dog treats for being good. When your dog learns to associate you with good things, it becomes more eager to please you.
Motivates Learning
Dogs like us will help you by using treats. Jessica L. Fisher believes that getting your dog to learn new ways and tricks is possible by being very generous with treats and praise. When you train your dog using positive reinforcement, your job becomes delightful, which makes them more interested in learning.
Builds Confidence
Your dog's trust is increased by positive reinforcement. They feel good about their abilities and more confident when they complete an action and get rewarded.
Reduces Stress and Fear
Training your dog with punishments can make it afraid and stressed, which can hurt your relationship with your pet. When you use positive reinforcement, your dog will feel safe and secure, which makes the training setting good.
Encourages Good Behavior Choices
With positive reinforcement, dogs learn to do the right thing. If they know that doing certain things will benefit them, they are likelier to do those things instead of doing bad things.
Why Choose Jessica L. Fisher for Positive Reinforcement Dog Training?
When teaching a dog, Jessica L. Fisher, a positive reinforcement dog trainer, knows how important positive reinforcement is. Because she wants to build strong bonds between dogs and their people, Jessica L. Fisher is the best person to train your dog with positive reinforcement. Jessica can train your dog in a way that fits their needs because she has years of experience and a strong desire to help people and animals. She knows a lot about positive reinforcement techniques that will help your dog learn in a fun and rewarding way. This will change his behavior in a way that lasts. If you believe Jessica L. Fisher, you can be sure you and your furry friend will have a happy and healthy bond.
In The End
Positive reinforcement is the primary training method Jessica L. Fisher uses in dog training. With this kind of positive reinforcement dog training, one teaches good habits to the dog while also strengthening the relationship between the owner and the pet. Concentrating on positive reinforcement through treats and compliments rather than punishment will have dogs learn with stress-free fun. Owners can be confident that Jessica's training and individual approach are the most effective way of raising disciplined dogs.

Juni got her nasal bordetella vaccine the other day (yay cooperative care!!) so she finally got to go to the pool for the first time.
She did AMAZING!! Not only did she totally rock the new environment (with strange people and another dog in the other pool right next to ours!), but she went straight into the pool and off the end of the ramp to swim out for a toy right away with no hesitation!!
She had so much fun swimming. This was such a great experience for her and I'm SO proud of her!! My scaredy-est doggie was the most confident in the pool, who would've thought??

A Complex Mobility Task: 📫🦮
Since moving into a house, Mandana has started to develop a habit of barking loudly when mail or packages are dropped off. Rather than punish her for this natural behavior I’m giving her the tools to deal with it in a more productive manner.
1. She rings the bell to let me know the mail was delivered.
2. She sits and waits for me to open the door and give her commands instead of bolting outside.
3. She brings the packages inside and stacks them in a pile.
4. She opens the packages for me only when I ask and only until I ask her to stop so as not to damage anything.
5. She helps me pick up items and throw trash away.
It’s a bit of extra work for me right now but she really enjoys it and it’s going to be very helpful when the training is complete.

At nearly 16 weeks old we just now had our first clicker training session. It was a very simple session with just kibble in my house and consisted of “charging” the clicker (teaching them that click = treat) orientation (rewarding for eye contact) engagement (rewarding for her choosing to engage with me instead of the environment) and introducing an emergency turn & run type of behavior to help us get out of overwhelming situations quickly. We started with going potty, playing, 10 minutes of training and then a nap to help her absorb all the new information she just learned.

This will be my second owner-trained service dog and I knew going into it that I wanted to delay the official training. One of the biggest things I learned from my first SDiT was that dogs are extremely smart and biddable. If you have a good service prospect, there is no need to worry so much about how quickly they will learn and progress through a training program. It’s important to remember that many of the people you see on social media are either professional dog trainers running a business who need to turn out service dogs at a profitable rate or people who are new to service dog training and may be rushing their puppies or skipping through important foundational skills.
It’s ok to take it slow (especially if you are also struggling with your disability) Prioritize establishing a relationship with the puppy, establishing a lot of management to prevent unwanted behaviors before they become a habit and rewarding desirable behaviors as they come up naturally. I promise an older puppy, adolescent or adult dog who is a good service dog candidate is not going to struggle with a properly laid out training program just because you are starting late or going slow.

Lately I've been feeling a huge need for emotionally intelligent, empathetic and thoughtful content about dog training and care. I feel very fragile at the moment and this sort of thing, while also kind of painful in a way, has been helping me be forgiving to myself and understanding to the dogs in my life. I can't get my thoughts straight to write out anything in detail, but I can share the resources themselves.
This episode was soothing. Christina is a beautiful and gentle speaker and her insights are incredibly valuable. I appreciate her desire to stay out of the limelight, but I do wish I had regular access to her thoughts so it's a bit of a shame she doesn't do social media or anything like that.
Choice quote: "Oftentimes I want to raise my hand and be like, can we evaluate this carceral mindset? And I get looks and I think, cool, not the time, not the place. This is not the space, like, shift gears, let it go, try something else."
This post was a really useful reflection tool. I don't identify as a crossover trainer, since I never trained dogs before, but I still relate because I was raised in a punishment first society regardless of dogs. Even as someone who came to dog training committed to R+ from the outset, it still takes rewiring and relearning and reconfiguring to not default to punishment.
Choice quote: "We humans believe that anger is an appropriate response to being wronged. I agree. There is a lot in this world to be enraged about. The problem is directing that rage at dogs and other beings we control. We are encouraged to believe that dogs are morally wronging us, and that appropriate responses are anger and punishment."
I found so much value in this two-part podcast from Animal Training Academy with Michele Pouliot. She had so much wisdom about how to effectively help people and change minds. And sometimes that means being frustrated.
Choice quote: "When we start working with a dog that's never had positive reinforcement training before, you're right, what's the first thing we do? We build a reinforcement history so that dog trusts us, enjoys being around us, and as soon as we have that relationship we can ask more of them... just because a person called you and made the appointment doesn't mean you have a relationship yet... It's the same as training the dog, you have to build the history."
I'd love to find some more media like these. I've been downloading a bunch of new dog books again, but so far none of them are quite scratching the itch I've got. I wish I could read something like The Secret History of Kindness again, that was one of those rare books that had a profound impact on me.
