Katrina wrote a really fantastic blog post called Why You Should Run From Engage/Disengage. Quick caveat, it's not because she doesn't like the protocol.
In this episode, Katrina and I discuss:
- Contingencies in training - what they are and how to analyze them
- How the execution of open bar/closed bar and engage/disengage can actually create unintended consequences for reactive dogs
- How to determine whether or not your procotol is working
- Why and how high value food can be coercive for dogs
- And so much more
