When we teach new lessons, we're always concerned about three huge variables: Distance, Duration, and Distractions. We can never forget those 3 Ds. When we begin to teach *stay,* we start with duration before we add distance and distractions.

We write a great deal about using positive training, desensitization, and counter-conditioning to help modify the behavior of aggressive dogs. We discuss classical conditioning, desensitization and counter conditioning wherein one attempts to pair two things (i.e. food treats and the dog's sight of other dogs/or other people) in order to help the dog form a new positive mental association.

Jos Lermyte is a professional dog trainer in Stabroek, Belgium. His message about teaching your dog to love its crate is one of the best lessons I've ever read!! It teaches the handler how to use shaping by successive approximations of the desired behavior. That's a useful technique to teach many different tasks, particularly for skills that may not come naturally to a dog. The article was first published in the ClickerSolutions group. http://www.clickersolutions.com
Subsequently Mr. Lermyte gave me permission to publish it for the Agbeh group, for a charitable group's newsletter for adopters, and for my clients. I'm very greatful to him. It is a great pleasure to present the article here for more readers. Please just click the red "read more" link below. BDB
