“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.”

“I expand on this “fifty rewards a day” protocol by giving my clients information about how to be successful behavior engineers. I suggest that they “Get SMART” —that is, that they practice “See, Mark And Reward Training.” Those three components—seeing good behavior, marking good behavior (often with a click or a “yes”) and rewarding good behavior—are the core competencies of successful trainers. This trio of skills comprises the technique called “capturing” (or “scanning” by some marine-mammal trainers): capitalizing on the numerous desirable behaviors an animal performs over the course of an average day by: 1) noticing them, 2) pointing them out to the animal, and 3) then giving the animal a reward in order to increase the strength of those behaviors. We make efforts to reinforce behaviors we like so those behaviors become more frequent, more intense and longer.”
