How would you rate your last three dog training sessions on a scale of 1 to 10? Today I’m sharing my training checklist and how I plan for success in dog training. If you want to train your dog, it’s worth training the best you can. A training plan for your puppy or dog will improve your sessions, increase success, and see your training progress faster.
In the episode you'll hear:
- Why to know if your training is skills, behavior, manners, sport or fitness.
- About your time and the length of training sessions.
- The reasons to know the behaviors you will be training.
- Why to mix in training something fun, your domino and something new.
- How to record keep your training session.
- Why to know what training equipment you will use, including rewards.
- How I always warm up before a training session.
- About knowing what success is and your criteria.
- The reason environmental manipulation creates faster success.

Ever since Susan “moved into our lives,” I’ve been using the video during our rehearsals and I’ve learned a lot from it! Thanks for this podcast episode, I’ve been thinking for 2-3 weeks about how to plan her workouts, I know now! I am grateful for it! Would you like to inquire about obedience training? The form of training that Susan represents is very close to me and it would be good for her team to learn a lot about it too! Thank you for shaping and shaping us and our dogs! with love Nora
I love doing the videos as sometimes I don’t take in what Rebus is doing well when I am in the midst of it all. It is a joy to review the video and see him looking up at me when we are walking round an open box of treats on the floor. I may have been walking slightly ahead and not realised. It makes me aware of how we are working together.
Excellent checklist to get me back in the groove of training. Would really appreciate more tips on avoiding or extinguishing “Cheap Behavior”.
I hate videoing, but I like the benefits you get from it. Yes, I have a phone, but can’t see to edit on it so usually video on my tablet. The video process is cumbersome and time consuming. And yes, my dog is worth it and so is the advise from the say yes staff. It would be so much quicker if we could upload directly to Recallers. Sometimes I just don’t have time to edit and then remember how to upload to utube, then go to Recallers and post the link. Sometimes the time it takes to video takes away my enthusiasm for training, but I know I need to video anyway.
