When there is too much of a party all the time!
Our “fika” training post from last week was very much appreciated – so we decided to write some more about it! The absolute biggest challenge in my training is to find a balance between active training and calm “just hanging out”. I have,...“Fika” training
On this blog we have so far been quite good at describing the training we do technically (or at least we try to be good at it). One can almost get the impression that we train and train and like never breathe, as if we never let our dogs take it easy in the training....Reversed luring – our favorite training aid #ThrowBackThursday

(I actually mean that I have to put several different behaviors together in a chain so that...Reversed Luring – Our Favorite Training Aid
Self-control through reversed luring One of the foundations of the clicker philosophy is to that the dog should learn to think by itself, especially in the learning phase. We want the dog to figure out how to do different things, solve different problems our figure...Eagerness
Lately both Elsa and I have been working on our dogs’ eagerness. You probably recognize how easily a dog one day (seemingly suddenly) is far too eager to get to a certain task. In the worst case it will become completely blocked and because of this doesn’t...Featured Products
