Before we start teaching our learners complicated behaviors and advanced concepts, we need to teach them how to learn. This course focuses on building one of the most important skills our dogs need in training; focus.
When we talk about concentration, we mean a set of behaviors. We can say that those are prerequisite behaviors that we teach not only as significant in themselves but as necessary to teach other behaviors. Their goal is to increase productivity in teaching other behaviors. We may call them “on task” behaviors.
Most importantly it is a skill we need to learn and teach! Too often we take it for granted and we require our dogs to „just have it”. But unless we operationalize it and define clear criteria - there are few chances we will be successful!

1️⃣ Operationalize focus!
2️⃣ Give your dog time to acclimate!
