Training Without Conflict® | Dog Training Podcast · Episode Fifty-Eight: Jan Van Maren · 22 Apr 2025 podcast

So what we need in sport is that we have helpers that also understand how dogs behave. learning that the dog learns with associations, combined signals, and baconed with commands. Right. I think it's difficult to get a result if you don't understand it. So sometimes maybe it's even better if a handler is teaching some exercises, but the actual bite work, well, the best thing would be by helpers.

I think the re-attack. The re-attack. The re-attack.

Well, as earlier mentioned, if a dog really wants to get something, you can use a little bit of frustration. So make a dog wanting to have it really, really, really bad.

If a dog really wants to have the sleeve and you get a little bit in frustration having the leash on and let him miss one time or two times in combination with a lot of movement, so the dog is getting very excited, then the dog is going to... to recognize the picture of getting in frustration and a possibility of should I get it or shouldn't I get it?

And that balance, I think it's important to get a very confident re-attack because if a dog does not really know if he gets it, but he really wants to have it, he's going to give a lot of energy for getting it.

Yeah, it's good if you can recognize it. That makes you a good helper or a helper that needs some extra education or something. But that should be one of the things a helper must see for making the moment of doing the re-attack.

Yeah, so that's why we need to teach our trial helpers much better. Just to select that behavior and to give a hard re-attack with a lot of emotion, with everything a helper has in his body. Just to make it happen that it's visual, that... Well, the dog doesn't have it, in fact. Right. And we forget to teach helpers that kind of things.

Yeah, and understanding how a dog is as a dog. Yeah, I think so. There's also a little trap in it because the weaker dogs,

you cannot have uh continuously pressure on on a dog that cannot handle it right so sometimes you have you have to help it through uh some faces and well the trap is to not stay in that kind of uh training yes so they can they have to grow they have to grow yeah if they are not growing well then but overall what i

No, it makes you a monkey that can do a routine. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, really. Yeah. I really love dog sport. I really love to work with dogs, to do helper work. Yeah. If you're not working with weaker dogs, you cannot recognize some behavior things. Because there is always a moment that you can recognize, maybe the dog is not in his best form now. And you cannot anticipate on it.

And dog sport is also about anticipation to be ahead of the dog. What's already quite difficult.

I really like to improve grips and stuff, to teach it, to make the rotations, to make it very dynamic. That gives me a lot of energy, that gives me a lot of joy. And it's also very rewarding because if you're working on it, it almost have always a result. When you see the result, right? Yeah, there's almost always, because there's a lot of things going on.

So dogs are feeling better if they're hanging on.

Well, I think really starting with part of the program and really teaching is about a month of eight, nine months. Because in the period before that, and you're working on drives, you don't really know how a dog is examining his behavior. Right. Being aware of what he's doing.

Wow. Yeah, what is a good age? Yeah.

That's an important one. Some desire, right? Something. Because if a dog doesn't want to hunt something, it's getting a little bit more difficult to get it in the correct frustration. And not the frustration for I want to go away, but the frustration of I really want to have something. So...

that's the first thing well what what i check with uh if dogs coming on the field and what i really want to recognize or want to see because that's one of the most important things what about um like there's sometimes dogs that

Sometimes you need to give the dog some time as well. Right. With some dogs you need to build confidence in the start. Well, maybe it's looking some time away. We had it today as well. There was a young dog that never did something and it's looking away and it's going to her handler and stuff. But in the end, because you're focusing on the good things and ignoring all that other kind of thing.

So the dog is growing over it quite fast. And then you see the second session that the dog has way more drive. And starts to believe more in itself, right? Yeah. And then it's beneficial to get something.

And those dogs are actually quite nice to work with. Right.
