Counter Surfing and other naughty dog behavior problems can feel unsolvable, but they don't have to be! I'm sharing an easy 3-step formula every dog owner needs to know for what to do. The challenges any one of us could have with our dogs will vary with our dog's age and experiences. But no matter if we have a puppy, rescue dog, or a dog who has been in our family for years, the MRI approach can be applied to any problem that needs to be solved. And don't worry, I'm not really suggesting an MRI, but it's a handy and memorable acronym to put into action, and it's all in this episode for you.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• How to apply the 3-step formula to solve any naughty dog behavior or challenge. • The ABC’s (Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence) of dog behavior and training. • A real-life example of using MRI to stop counter surfing with puppy Waffles. • Everything you need to know to Manage, Redirect, Intensify (MRI) • The importance of redirecting your dog’s attention onto more appropriate behaviors. • How to ‘Manage The Don’t, Intensify The Do’ in your training for better long-term results. • My approach to turn common dog behavior challenges into training opportunities. • How to use games like ItsYerChoice, Hot Zone, Reinforcement Zone. • How to be intentional about using all the things that are really reinforcing to your dog when your focus is on intensifying the ‘do.’
