Clean Run - September 2020 - 9
TWinning The BenefiTS
If your dog learns to settle, you will have a good foundation for teaching anticipatory stillness.
I found this particularly useful when I was training my most recent puppy, who is not as driven as my home-bred
Cockers. I taught him to settle on a bed, and in his crate, and then took him to lots of pet training classes,
gundog classes and to my workshops.
While I was teaching, he watched the other dogs work. In this way, he learnt to wait and watch in stimulating
environments, and I made sure he was intermittently rewarded for calm and quiet behaviour.
There were times when he struggled, and this was only to be expected. But instead of allowing him to experience
frustration and failure, I changed the environment for him. I practised his sit and wait, and played other games
that encouraged anticipatory stillness, such as mousey, mousey so I could reward him. The other option was to
put him away in the car where I knew he could settle and sleep.
As he grows older and more experienced, I know we are going to have days when he becomes more impulsive
and aroused in certain situations, and he will not be able to settle quietly. But when this happens, I will simply
change the environment in order to support him.
My advice is teach settle first in all new environments when it will be required, and then incorporate anticipatory
stillness into your training.
PArKing The Dog
Step-by-step
Parking the dog is similar to the settle in that we are looking for the same emotional state, i.e. calm and relaxed.
The only difference is that the position (sit, down, stand)
is the dog's choice.
To "park" your dog outside, you will need a training lead.
This is a lead that at full length measures around 3m
(10ft), but has links so that it can be made smaller. This
enables you to keep your dog safe and secure.
For example, you are out walking your dog and you meet
a friend. You want your dog to settle by your side, but the
ground is wet and muddy, which means he may not want
to lie down. So, as far as you are concerned, he can adopt
whatever position he chooses, as long as he is behaving
in a calm manner.
*
Attach the training lead, and hold it in one hand while
also standing on it, so it is under the ball of your foot.
Make sure you leave enough slack so the dog will be
comfortable if he is sitting, standing or lying down
*
once "parked," the dog needs help to learn how to behave. Do this by quietly rewarding anything you deem
to be "appropriate." This could be:
once established, parking the dog is a useful strategy
which means your dog cannot:
*
*
*
− Sitting quietly
Pull you around.
− Standing quietly
lunge at another dog or person.
− lying quietly
Jump up at you.
− looking around
Instead, he is rewarded for calm behaviour, and you can
chat to your friend without fear of interruption!
− looking at you
− Sniffing the ground
reward all of these behaviours every time you see them
so that your dog understands what is expected of him.
The reward is just a small piece of food, either given directly to him, or dropped on the ground. Avoid eye contact or verbal praise; the food alone should reinforce the
required behaviour.
*
Allow the dog to adopt a position where he is most
likely to feel calm and relaxed.

If you don't reward your dog he may get confused
and/or frustrated, causing him to bark, pull or chew
on the lead. It is important that you don't allow this
to happen.
