Training Without Conflict® | Dog Training Podcast · Episode Fifty-Eight: Jan Van Maren · 22 Apr 2025 podcast
If the trial season is over, then you can, well, in between you can also do training, different things, but the dog, well, we have the best results for dogs that are prepared and knowing what they have to do, but need to wait. till the command comes.
And... Well, and dogs that are not in season, yeah. If dogs are not in season, it means that they are not ready for a season. So then you're working on behaviors that need to improve to get there. Right, right.
Yeah, you need to manage the behavior. So... If teach the dog correctly, you must see what is showing in three trainings. So you need to have to work to that point because then a dog is showing some different behavior than you want. And then you can act on it. You kind of want to know if you have it or not. It needs to happen.
It needs to happen because if you're avoiding that point... You're going for surprise, right?
Yeah. In training, you need those mistakes. to make the end result better. So, yeah, of course, all the things you need to manage that behavior needs on the dog.
In my opinion, the dog needs to be in center in front of the helper.
Just no question about it. There is no reason, right? No, no. For me, no. And... Well, I'm not going to change my re-attack for a dog that is teached to bark here. So if the dog's barking at the point that, well... It's not ready to go.
Well, that's a good question.
Right. And... The situation must be safe as well. So if a dog is barking here and it's nearly touching the helper, well, I think it's a reasonable call for the judge to say something from that.
Yeah.
I don't know if I'm answering correctly what you want, but I like to see that the helpers are getting meaner. So it's also so correct and also strict.
um everybody's happy about it but i think that's the biggest problem we have not having the challenge of yeah like hey i'm against you we need to be mean uh if a dog was hesitating on the re-attack why not pulling the sleeve a little bit aside and stepping in from okay now what you have yeah
still within I miss that kind of things helpers that have that attitude already before the first dog even started and and yeah If you see the attack out of back transport, that is not even attack anymore out of back transport. The helpers are turning around and stepping backwards and waiting for the dog to come. Originally, it's the exercise to turn around and hit the handler. Very true.
And we need to chase that kind of things in helpers again. Turn around and run into the dog and stick in front and have to sleeve against your body because the dog is not going to have that speed as on the long bite.
You need to go to the handler. You need to hit the handler. You need to have that attitude from, okay, I'm going to hit the handler to the ground. That's a good one. And that's the only intention you need to have there. And you can only hit the handler for his mouth if you have your hand in front of you, the sleeve in the correct position, and it's just go.
Yeah, that's a good one. It's been like how many years for five steps? Right.
Yeah, some dogs are getting stronger also from it. Yeah. Because it's also a form of support.
Yeah.
Yeah, but if you look at trials and thinking about dogs getting injured, well, For a helper it's not his problem at that point.
the helper needs to be there on the field to make a fight to be there as gladiator and of course he needs to be capable of it but that's why we need to evaluate the helpers from time to time and set the bar very high for high competition helpers so that you know you have good helpers so that the chance of getting injured dogs is as less as possible, but there needs to be a fight.
