I will link to these more specific posts in future Chaiaries instead of directly inserting the videos every day. It was just the one. Fundamental optimism for the win! Tuesdays are market days at Diagonal San Antonio!

We used this opportunity to walk through as the vendors were just setting up shop in the morning. We also did — as we do most days — a little or a lot of shaping, drove a slightly longer about 2 minutes while yesterday was about 1 minute loop on an empty stomach success!

No throwing up or pooping! I know a beautiful black Standard Poodle named Gidget. Gidget is an anxious dog. These are safe spaces for her. She gets to be herself. She does, however, get anxious in new places. And even in certain familiar ones.

Gidget is a perfectly normal Poodle in that she has certain things she really enjoys, such as going on hikes and making dog friends on the trails. Nor is it being in her safe space in the car. Choices are great?

So Brandy and I decided to give Gidget more control over her choice of exiting the car crate in the first place. We started with a treat test: can you take treats in the car?

If so, great! If not — no pressure. You can stay in the car. If Gidget could eat, Brandy would release her from the car. In my experience as a dog trainer, dogs tend to opt in more and enjoy themselves more the more agency they are given.

I hoped that Gidget would feel this way, too! A detour: what is the game? The basic version of the game is very simple: the point is not for the pattern to be complex, but for it to help both human and dog to implement it quickly and even in distracting environments.

Feed a treat from your hand at three. Count out loud again as you keep walking: one — two — three. Feed a treat at three, and so on. Both the predictability and the eating help the dog and give them something other than the environment to focus on.

Another detour: what is a start button? A start button behavior is any behavior the dog has learned to use as a cue for the human to do something, or for the human to ask the dog to do something. We use start buttons a lot in cooperative care and voluntary sharing — but really, there is no end to their application.

Common start buttons include visual targets looking at something or someone; making eye contact and tactile targets for example a chin rest on a hand or object, or stepping and staying on a platform.

Rather than feeding each treat from her hand, Brandy put the treat on the ground, next to her shoe, anytime she got to 3. Like in the basic version of the game, you will be walking and counting your steps, and your dog will eat at 3.

This turns the game into requested approach training RAT. The video below shows Gidget learning the start button version of the game in her yard. Notice how Brandy waits for Gidget to make eye contact before she starts counting again!

What is requested approach training? This is what we did with Gidget once she had learned the game at home, and we took it out into the world: it was up to her if she wanted to go further from the car. No need to venture out into the big and scary world unless you want to!

Windows of opportunity Windows of opportunity to offer a certain behavior — such as 5 seconds for Gidget to make eye contact after eating — serve an important purpose in this kind of training: if you just waited your dog out indefinitely, sooner or later, they would look up at you. It is only a real choice when the dog can opt out easily.

A clearly defined window of opportunity is one way for the dog to opt out. Another one is not taking the treat on the ground.

Once Gidget knew the game, we took it to a quiet, low distraction parking lot. I imagined that after a little practice, Gidget would happily cue Brandy to take her all the way to the trailhead on the other side. It took approximately 10 sessions to get Gidget comfortable with three to four reps before she asked to return to the car.

The video below shows a BIG difference from that first attempt! But you can see that it is still hard for her: rather than looking right up at Brandy after eating, as she did in her yard, it takes her seconds the entire window of opportunity to offer the respective next start button.

At this stage, we plateaued for a while. She could usually eat the scatter, and it relaxed her nicely. Post scatter, we gave her a second 5-second window to offer eye contact.

Success in environment 1! Gidget only needed ONE scatter during these ten reps, even though it was a windy noisy! The second place Brandy tried was also relatively calm — but there was more traffic. She looked relieved. The video below is from the first field trip to environment 2.

This is her opting out. Brandy reads her well, and takes her back to the car right away. We knew that Gidget really enjoyed her hikes. She had a great time exploring nature trails with Brandy and her Poodle sister Kona, sniffing all the things, looking for critters … Gidget genuinely likes hiking, and her body language shows it!

Look at her tail carriage, the happy face, how she runs with a bounce in her step, and how proudly she carries her tail! Only Gidget can tell us what is the right approach for Gidget!

I asked Brandy to show me what walking away from the car in environment 2 looked like if she clearly took the lead:. Not being given a choice — like Brandy used to do pre — ended up working better for Gidget than being asked to voluntarily opt in.

In the end, we are making dogs live in a world designed by and for humans. And it is going to be the human who ends up making all of the above choices for their dog.

is different for every one of us. One dog owner may think that hiking matters more than freedom of choice, and vice versa, and neither one would be wrong: there simply is no objective answer, no matter how much we wish there was.

I know humans like Gidget. It is indeed scary and unpredictable. And just like Gidget, there are humans who know that the world is a scary and unpredictable, overwhelming place to inhabit. If anything, it makes things worse. However, it is certainly easier to exist in the world if we can make ourselves feel safe.

No questions asked. Maybe they will be easier to answer for our own species than for dogs. Maybe we can tap into a shared human experience, and find some answers. They have a hard time doing something fun if the bridge between the status quo and the potentially fun goal involves a decision to step out of a safe space.

Yes — this is certainly true, even if not universally so. As a child, I used to be scared of making phone calls. Even phone calls to set up a playdate with my best friend. The whole situation was stressful. I kept asking my parents to make these phone calls for me instead.

But the rules were clear, no matter how much I pleaded: I had to call myself, or there would be no play date. I remember the feeling vividly, even today. Which is interesting given how many years have passed! Back in the day, I would usually try to bargain and beg, but end up making the call myself.

It would always be highly stressful. Day after day, week after week, year after year. The adult I am is not a human like Gidget — quite the opposite. I like climbing abandoned buildings, and I sometimes dream of being a war journalist. I like working with them, thinking about them, learning from them, and earning their trust.

I prefer making calls to answering them. And I very much prefer written or in-person communication to phone calls overall. Two reasons. Here, listening to my opt-out making the phone call for me would have been a better approach.

I suspect the actual playdate was always too far away in time in order for me to get counterconditioned change my feelings about phone calls about setting it up in the first place. We keep pretending that humans are able to learn from reinforcers that are far removed in time — but truly, are we?

When I was a kid, my mom would often visit her relatives on weekends. My dad would prefer to stay home. Both wanted me to be with them and share their weekend.

And the choice was mine: did I want to go see the big family, or do fun things with dad? I remember it felt torturous. They were doing the best they could, and probably trying to increase my agency like Brandy and I tried with Gidget and the game.

But boy, weekends were hard! Choosing to stay with my dad would make my mom unhappy, and choosing to go with her would make my dad unhappy. Sometimes I picked my mom, but asked her to stop the car a few hundred meters from the house, got out, and walked back home to stay with my dad after all.

For whatever reason, I ended up trusting her word again the next time. And the next time after. In this second case, what would have been the best way to handle things?

I probably benefited from both kinds of experiences — family time and dad time. If my parents had agreed on a schedule and just stuck to it, not fought about it, and shared that schedule with me rather than letting me pick one, life would have been a lot easier. How does this compare to Gidget, the Poodle, and dog training in general?

This is one reason windows of time are important. Brandy will make it for her, and take the lead Brandy will make the phone call for Gidget, so to speak.

I know kids as well as adults this is true for. Some all? Just letting you know so you can wrap up the game you are playing.

I know people who are often late because they struggle with leaving place A in order to get to place B in time. Maybe as long as it is early, the anxiety about the outside world outweighs the social obligation of leaving now in order to get to place B in time.

Once you look at the clock and see that the time of the meeting in place B has already arrived, the social obligation outweighs the anxiety, and you do leave place A. Which will make you late. Being greeted by grumpiness or judgyness is a punisher. In kids, maybe we should minimize their decision time 1 minute of stress a day is better than 15 minutes of stress a day?

Maybe adults benefit from establishing routines that make it easier to do A, B, C? Tag points? Turning outings into rituals on a regular schedule rather than spontaneous events?

I know what I would try myself: therapy, meds, and gamification. If I were a human like Gidget, neither one of these might appeal or make sense to me. Life is free er of stress, but still enriching. Do what works for your dog, not what works for most dogs, or what is currently in vogue in the dog training communities you are a part of.

And what about humans? Very difficult to say! I have my doubts — but maybe they are unfounded. For adults who live alone, this looks like a major life quality issue to me. If you crave social interactions or mountain biking, or agility classes , but are finding it impossible to leave your house, this is a problem.

I say, yes, if whatever you are experiencing on a medium to long term basis is seriously affecting your quality of life — go get therapy, and get meds on board! There is a whole menu of medications that decrease social anxiety, depression, and generalized anxiety, which are probably some of the root causes of transition struggles and decision paralysis.

There is an endless supply of shitty things happening in the world around us. But if you feel this way on a consistent basis however rational it may be to be affected by the shitty things going on! Something outside of you is always going to be bad. The menu is large.

You just have to take the first step. Knowing that the first step is the hardest, if you know me and struggle with this — by all means, reach out!

I can also just listen. And if you are not a human like Gidget? Look out for your friends who are! Give yourself and them the same grace and compassion you have for dogs like Gidget.

PS: Thank you, Brandy and Gidget, for exploring the game with me, for hanging in there throughout windy, cold and rainy days, and for allowing me to share your videos! You are wonderful, and I feel lucky and grateful to have met you both!

It consists of a row of bowls. The dog learns that by giving you eye contact, they can cue you to put a treat down in the respective next bowl in the line.

They get to decide how close they want to go. If they stop offering eye contact, you will stop at the bowl you are at, or further increase the distance.

Approach — retreat. In CU, when we approach, we will also retreat. Dogs NEVER get stuck near the stimulus you are working with in the context of Control Unleashed.

The first step of the Superbowls game is teaching Puzzle that eye contact makes things happen. In this case, eye contact will cause me to click, and put down a treat in the first bowl.

Which brings me to yet another reason I love CU games for puppies or dogs who are new to training: they organically pick up different skills along the way! In this game, the meaning of the clicker gets reinforced, and Puzzle learns that eye contact is a behavior she can use to earn treats.

Puzzle has strong foundation mat skills. Note that there are different ways to teach LAT. Control Unleashed: Creating a Focused and Confident Dog Control Unleashed: The Puppy Program Control Unleashed: Reactive to Relaxed. This is the video I used for my CCUI homework: Puzzle assists me in demonstrating how to teach LAT on a mat!

Thank you also to my helper Zane! The coffee can serves as a target for my helper. Part of setting your dog up for success is making sure your human assistants knows where to stop! This is part two of the sample translation of chapter 8. Click here for part 1: Protocol for Proximity.

While these are sample chapters from a geeky book about working with fearful puppies, the protocols are relevant for fearful or insecure adult dogs as well. Special thanks to canine sports medicine extraordinaire and FDSA colleague Sue Yanoff for proofreading, and for her thoughtful feedback! Work through the Protocol for Proximity before working on the Protocol for Touch.

Now it is time to raise criteria again. Approach your puppy just like before. Squat down. This time, reach towards the front of her chest, but stop your hand at about 10 inches distance — do not touch her.

Click, drop the treat, and retreat. Wait 15 seconds between reps, and stay at this level of difficulty for at least 5 reps. If your puppy is comfortable with the hand reaching towards her, move your hand 2 inches closer the next time.

Click, treat, retreat. Wait 15 seconds, and repeat. Raise criteria only when your puppy appears confident and relaxed. Now you are ready to gently touch the front of her chest. Gently put your hand on her body, barely touching her. Repeat this step at least five times without your puppy showing the stress signs described in the ladder of aggression see body language chapter.

She should remain perfectly relaxed: the muscles are soft, the tail rests on the floor or wags gently in expectation of a treat. Rolling over onto one hip is a good sign. Did your dog stay relaxed or show signs of happy expectation? Repeat this step at least five times, and make sure your dog is comfortable.

Move your hand over her chest for three inches. Click, drop a treat, and retreat. After five reps of this, move your hand over her chest for 6 inches.

Repeat five times, and raise criteria to 9 inches. If your dog is very little, 2, 4 and 6 or even 1, 2 and 3 inches may be better suited! Once this works well, it is time to move on to a different body part. Again, start with extending your hand towards her. Work your way up to touching her chin, just like you did with her chest.

Once you can touch her chin, scratch her with your fingers for one second before clicking, dropping the treat, and retreating. Work your way up to 5 good puppies before moving on to the next body part.

Next, you will desensitize your dog towards touching her side. Just like before, start by reaching towards her without actually touching her body, and work your way up to a 9-inch stroke less if your dog is very small.

Be patient — this may be more difficult for your puppy than the previous body parts. Follow the protocol until you can stroke from the withers back to her rump.

Does she seem enjoy you touching her rump? If so, step five should be initiating touch there, and gently scratching her rump with your fingers. Take your time, and only increase criteria when your dog is completely comfortable with the previous step.

Your goal is being able to stroke from her head down to her withers. Start when your dog is relaxing on her side, but not asleep.

Allowing you to approach while exposing the belly is a sign of trust! Gradually build up your approach again before physically touching her body. Your first spot of touch is just behind the front legs. Build up to stroking her all the way back to her belly.

On the other hand, if your puppy enjoys being touched on her chest and belly, feel free to experiment a litte and gently scratch different parts of her belly. Start with the shoulder of a front leg, and gradually increase how far your hand slides down. Most dogs prefer a medium amount of pressure to a very gentle touch on their legs.

Your goal behavior is slowly sliding your hand down from the shoulder muscles to the toes. Go through the protocol for both front legs, followed by both hind legs.

Repeat all steps when your dog is standing instead of lying down. Choose a time of day where your puppy is calm and relaxed, and start from scratch: take a step towards your dog, click, drop a treat, and retreat. Gradually decrease the distance, and then add touch.

Start with every new body part like you did when your dog was lying down: the front of her chest, her chin, side, withers and back, head and neck, chest and belly, front legs and hind legs.

Puppies under 16 weeks of age should be able to go through the protocol for proximity and touch relatively quickly. Dogs that age are still behaviorally flexible. Nevertheless, a puppy between 12 and 16 weeks will already require more time and patience to learn to like your touch than a puppy under 12 weeks would.

The socialization window has already started to close. Have you successfully worked through the entire protocol on your puppy both when resting on her bed and when standing upright? Keep practicing in different rooms of your house as well as outdoors. At the same time, the other members of your household should work through the protocol as well.

Dogs do not generalize well. Everyone who works through the protocol needs to start from the very first step. Choose calm helpers you trust with your dog, and give them clear instructions on when to feed and retreat.

Click for them in order to help their timing. The more people your puppy learns to trust in this way before the age of 16 weeks, the better: women, men, children, and elderly people.

Equally important is generalizing proximity and touch to as many different environments as possible. Work in different indoor and outdoor locations in order to generalize her positive associations to touch as widely as possible.

The pictures featured in Nur Mut! and in this post were taken by Olga Maderych of Gadabout Photography. click here for the first English sample chapter. Part 1 is my protocol for proximity.

Part 2 will be the protocol for touch. Before diving into the protocol itself, you need to establish how close you can get to your puppy without causing a stress reaction. No matter whether her threshold is 3 feet or 15 feet — add 2 steps to this distance.

This is your starting point — a point where your puppy is perfectly relaxed. Choose a time your puppy is resting calmly on her bed or another comfortable spot, but not asleep.

Walk up to your starting point. Mark her relaxed body position with a click. Throw a treat to her. Turn around and retreat.

Retreating is an important part of this protocol. Wait 15 seconds, and repeat the exercise. Again, you will walk up to the starting point defined above, click, treat, and retreat. Keep your session to 5 minutes or less, and give your dog a break.

Then, start the game again by means of walking up to your original starting point, treating, and retreating. You are explaining to your dog that you are playing the game she already knows. All she has to do is keep relaxing and wait for you to throw her a treat.

What a great deal! Do not walk closer to your dog until you are convinced she understands that your approach predicts a treat. Watch her body language: does she lift her head and start wagging her tail when you walk towards her?

She is beginning to understand that something good is about to happen! Once your dog is clearly happy about your approach, you are ready to walk one step closer your next rep. Click, throw a treat to your dog, and retreat. Stay at your new click point for at least 5 reps.

Does your dog look equally relaxed and happy about your approach as before? Walk another step closer in rep number 6. Click, treat, and retreat! Stick to your new click point until your dog looks forward to your approach. Then, walk one step closer again.

Depending on your starting distance, you may already be standing directly in front of your dog at this point. Avoid leaning over her and looking into her eyes. Dogs can find this typical primate posture threatening.

Instead, look at the floor between you and your dog — right at the spot you are going to drop the treat. Make sure to not let your session run over five minutes before giving your puppy a break.

If everything went well, start your next session one step behind the final starting point of your last session. The first rep of this new session is just a little bit easier than the last rep of your last session.

Gradually work your way closer again, just like you did before, until you are standing right in front of you puppy. Is your puppy perfectly comfortable or happy and curious? Behavior is fluid, we all have good and bad days. Revisiting step one periodically, to make sure your dog is still physically well, is necessary as well.

Pausing and slowing down before moving onto tier four can be helpful when assessing how things are going and if changes need to be made. This step involves incorporating the skills we taught the dog out of context and generalizing them into the problematic context.

For the example of the dog barking at the fence, we can reinforce eye contact, nose targeting, grabbing a toy, or laying on a mat instead of barking. However, these behaviors need to be trained in a calm and non-distracting environment before gradually introducing your dog to a more distracting environment.

Be careful of expecting too much too soon from your dog. At this tier, we hit the stop sign. These are the things that might be perceived by the learner as aversive. We might not be adding the aversives as a consequence yet, but taking away something that was reinforcing to them does fall into this category.

Going back to the previous tiers is required. Tier six is behind another stop sign. This is where we add in an aversive consequence to make the behavior less likely to occur in the future. Leash corrections and an interruptive stimulus like a shaker can or a shock collar fall into this category.

There is a big difference between interrupting the behavior in the moment and changing the future behavior. Anything that is startling or distracting only interrupts the behavior in the moment and does not change or modify the behavior for the future.

Will the aversive technique always be needed as an interruption in order for the behavior to stop? Most likely, yes. Positive punishment rarely changes behavior and this can become a welfare concern, bringing us back to tier one.

Positive punishment is also not the most effective way to teach or learn. This tier also carries the greatest amount of risk. What is the Humane Hierarchy?
