Working in tricky environments – reinforcement strategies that enhance relationships

Gun dogs have to work in really tricky environments; they need to be simultaneously calm and ready to go!

They can also be very good at being self-employed, so in order to be the best team mate possible we need to consider how and where our dogs are accessing reinforcement.

We will look at how to tailor reinforcements to your individual dog, how we work out what they really like, and how we work out how to effectively deliver reinforcement in order to have a relationship that allows us to work in challenging environments.
