With a Verbal Marker system that is conditioned through Classical Conditioning, A.K.A. Pavlovian principal, you will develop a clear communication system to explain to your dog what you want and what you do not want in their behavior. Paired with Operant Conditioning ,with the use of a Target, you have a force free way to achieve the physical action, mark it with a conditioned positive reinforcer, and reward the wanted behavior with one of three motivators, food, toy or affection. All dogs have food drive, their willingness and wanting to eat, but they can be on different scales. Through specific games we can build the dogs drive to want to work for their food reward and use it to motivate the wanted behaviors. At some point the cookie will be out weighed by the distraction, and only once the dog truly understands what we are asking for, some form of correction has to come in. With the goal of the dog achieving the same level of obedience around distractions and in any environment. '‘A truly trained dog will perform the behaviors anywhere and everywhere!'‘

"practice doesn't make perfect. perfect practice makes perfect."

Consistency is not just doing the practice on a regular basis, but also having a clear standard in mind of what you are asking the dog to do. Having a clear standard allows it to be fair to the dog. If our speed limits changed daily and you got a ticket, it would be unfair. That is why it is clearly posted for us, so if we receive a ticket for speeding, we know why and what we need to correct. DK9 Solutions will teach you how to hold your dog to a fair and achievable high standard, ensuring the best behaved, loving companion, that you always wanted. “If you are inconsistent, your dog will be inconsistent!'‘
