This course helped me understand the principles of engagement. Is the dog hungry, the right weight, finding the right reward. Understanding movement, movement is motivating. Contrast movement. Rate of reinforcement. Paying attention to your dog’s energetics and stop before your dog wants to stop. Keeping sessions short. I loved the idea of duration having contrast rather than longer each time. I think it’s a great course and I have no improvements to offer.
