RICOCHET DOG TRAINING ON YOUTUBE

The Dog in Front of You.

Because there's rather more to dog training than teaching a sit and hoping for the best.

Dogs don't come with identical histories, personalities or instruction manuals.

And while training exercises are useful, understanding what's happening around those exercises matters just as much.

A CLOSER LOOK AT TRAINING

There's usually more going on than we think.

A behaviour is only one part of the picture. What happened beforehand? What did the dog learn? And what might we change next time?

Notice what dogs are communicating rather than concentrating only on the behaviour we can see.

Ask questions about the environment, the learning process and what we're asking the dog to manage.

Take what we're learning and consider how it applies to the dog sharing your everyday life.

WATCH THE CHANNEL

You can watch the videos on YouTube and return whenever you fancy exploring something else.

Sometimes the answer is another training exercise.

Sometimes it's changing the question we're asking.

WANT TO WORK TOGETHER?

If something you've watched has made you think about your own dog, we can explore it together.

We'll start with your dog, your circumstances and what you'd like help with.
