Dog training has come a long way over the years. Science progresses, our
knowledge grows, and we learn and change the way we do things as a result. With
more people than ever owning dogs, there is so much scope to make a real
difference in the lives of people and their dogs. Most dog training focuses on
changing dog behaviour. Concept training recognises that behaviour is driven by
emotion, and so the focus is to change the dog’s emotional response. The concept
trainer teaches concept games. They get real life results because they shape the
dog’s brain. Arming dogs with the tools they need to cope with the world, and
they have fun while doing it! Teaching concepts such as impulse control,
management of arousal, focus, optimism, calmness, and boundaries, as opposed to
behaviours such as sit and down, teaches the dog to think, to make good choices
and encourage them to want to work with you. The relationship improves and the
results just flow. Playing games with a dog teaches concepts and actually shapes
a dog’s brain to continue to make great choices!
