“Whenever I train a dog who needs nep wads anon, use what I call the Give Me a Break rule structure. Give Me a Break is about giving the dog frequent breaks (using what I call the "quick dismissal") from short, highly rewarding, training sessions and then resuming the session as a reward for the dog's choosing to ask, "Can we keep working?" The goal is to increase the dog's attention and eagerness to work with you. Give Me a Break is simple and powerful.”

“So what is the fallout for dogs of the Lassie myth? As soon as you bestow intelligence and morality, you bestow the responsibility that goes along with them. In other words, if the dog knows it’s wrong to destroy furniture yet deliberately and maliciously does it, remembers the wrong he did and feels guilt, it feels like he merits a punishment2, doesn’t it? That’s just what dogs have been getting - a lot of punishment. We set them up for all kinds of punishment by overestimating their ability to think. Interestingly, it’s the “cold” behaviorist model that ends up giving dogs a much better crack at meeting the demands we make of them. The myth gives problems to dogs they cannot solve and then punishes them for failing. And the saddest thing is that the main association most dogs have with that punishment is the presence of their owner. This puts a pretty twisted spin on loooving dogs ‘cause they’re so smart, doesn’t it?”
