Supervised play(감독하의 놀이)는 반려견이 소중히 여기는 보상을 활용하여 유대감을 형성하는 기회임.hebe처럼 주인이 아끼는 것일 수도 있음.adventure playground(모험 놀이터)와 같지만, 현재 반려견에게는 입장을 위한 ticket(티켓/허락)이 필요함.I Told You So(거봐, 내 말 맞지) — (예상치 못한 상황이 벌어졌을 때 스스로 깨닫는 순간).creeping buttercups(미나리아재비)가 퍼져 나가는 현상을 관찰함.creeping buttercups는 깊은 network of runners(기어가는 줄기망)를 통해 정원 전체로 빠르게 퍼지며, 꽃이 피기 전까지는 눈에 띄지 않고 완전히 뿌리 뽑기도 불가능함.unintended learning(의도치 않은 학습)에 비유함:resilient(회복력 있는)하고 persistent(끈질긴) 성질을 가짐.Suppression(억압)은 선택지가 되어서는 안 되며, 특정 구역에서는 학습이 계속 번성하게 두되 정원을 완전히 장악하지 못하도록 management(관리)가 필요함.adolescence(청소년기)를 지나 adulthood(성견기)로 넘어가는 과정에서 표면 아래에서 번성해온 것들을 점차 인식하게 됨.DANGED HARD WORK(엄청나게 힘든 일)임.Biting everything), 아무 데나 소변을 보고(peeing everywhere), 무엇이든 먹어치우는(eating anything) 과정은 마음 약한 사람에게는 적합하지 않음.preparation(준비)을 시켰다는 것이 모든 상황에 대처 가능하다는 뜻은 아님.conditions(환경)을 접하게 함으로써, 예상치 못한 상황이 발생했을 때 반려견이 자신의 skills(기술)을 활용해 문제를 해결하도록 돕는 것임.no-training day(훈련을 따로 하지 않는 날)라고 해서 반려견이 햇볕 아래에서 빈둥거리며 게으르게 보내는 날을 의미하지 않음.learning(학습)은 여전히 일어나고 있으며, 이는 반려견의 development(발달)에 중요하고 의미 있는 과정임.mould(형성/개조)하려 하지 않기 때문.potential fallout(잠재적 파장)에 대해 지나치게 걱정하지 않기 때문.tremendous learners(훌륭한 학습자)를 육성할 수 있음.premier learners(최고의 학습자)임.frustration(좌절), despair(절망), anxiety(불안), 그리고 endless hours(끝없는 시간 낭비)를 방지하기 위함임.delight(즐거움)은 운이 좋아야 4주 정도 지속됨.12 weeks old(생후 12주)가 되는 순간 강아지의 태도가 slam(확 변하는 충격)처럼 바뀌며, 무례하고 ungrateful(배은망덕한)한 obnoxious traits(무례한 기질)를 보이기 시작함.personal grief(개인적인 슬픔)을 초래하고, 강아지의 미래를 불행하게 만들거나 생명을 끝내는 결과를 낳을 수 있음.obnoxious moments(무례한 순간들)를 가진 Surprising Puppy에 관한 내용.youngster(어린 시절)의 무례했던 강아지가 Delightful Young Man(멋지고 즐거운 성견)으로 성장하는 모습을 보며 큰 감동을 느낌.learner(학습자)에게 맞춤화된 carefully planned learning pathway(신중하게 계획된 학습 경로)를 제공하는 것임.duration(지속성)을 가르치는 것은 그것이 무엇인지, 어떻게 가르쳐야 하는지에 대해 매우 혼란스러운 이해를 낳았다.training(훈련)은 반려견에게 '가하는(TO)' 행위이다.learning(학습)은 반려견을 '위해(FOR)' 이루어지는 것이다.nose target(노즈 타겟)은 많은 반려견과 다른 동물들에게 가르치는 인기 있는 행동이다.being a clicker trainer(클리커 트레이너가 된다는 것)라는 개념은 항상 논쟁과 오해를 불러일으킨다. 왜냐하면 그것은 과학과 기술(science and technology)과 공존할 수 없기 때문이다.clicker(클리커) 자체는 간단한 도구일 뿐이며, 기술과 함께 사용될 때 teaching(가르침)에 있어 명확성과 이해를 제공한다.Cease That Behaviour(그 행동을 멈춰라는 신호)를 가르칠 수 있는가? 물론 가능하다.training(훈련)과 learning(학습)은 전혀 같은 것이 아니다.Nika and the Garden by Frances McCormack | Learning with Nika My poor delphiniums! Not my dahlia! Oh, I loved that viburnum! Nika, stop eating my coreopsis! The Garden of Earthly Delights? It sure is for Nika. An archaeological dig site that has transformed the lawn into a health and safety hazard A racetrack around the camellia bush where nothing is allowed to grow Recently watered flowers providing mud to dig in The hebe for rolling on when one is covered in mud (see above) Newly planted shrubs, perfect for playing tug with: dog v. the grip of the earth Twigs and branches to be found in every corner and transported into the house for “swaps” A walking tour with the cat who takes her time deciding where to toilet Staring matches with the local pigeons The hose tap which, if you lick it forlornly enough for long enough, will be turned on by humans despite the multiple bowls of water available with cool, fresh beverages The swing chair where you can climb atop a reading human and their book for some vestibular thrills A circuit around which one can dance with one’s toys in the hopes that someone is watching from the window Flowerpots galore, fresh from the nursery, perfect for shredding; contents a bonus More Lord of the Flies than The Flower Fairies , I’m afraid. She Learned That? As the breeze of adolescence gently rustles through the house, we have come to understand how much inadvertent, self-propelled learning has occurred in the garden, and how much a den of iniquity that place is for a young dog. “Can I say ‘I told you so?’” It would be remiss of you not to. The opportunities for indulging in the kinds of things that are prevented indoors by careful management. A world without much guidance, save for the walls that would probably soon become scalable. A teenager in a world of their own with the equivalent of fast cars, an unlimited credit card, and an audience of an admiring older brother who sometimes acts as an enabler. Would it be fair on her to allow her to continue running wild, testing fences and walls, possibly getting more pushy with the local wildlife? Time to start braking gently. Fencing panels or hurdles strong enough to manage sheep flexible enough to manage collie. Management Matters Afternoons in a limited area marked by fences. Full of toys, good canine and human company, home comforts, and opportunities for heading indoors if the mood strikes. An observation station to watch the world go by (and to scowl at the local pigeons). Placed on concrete to avoid tunnelling. Covered in chicken wire to prevent squeezing through. Bars on the
outside to deter climbing over. From a human perspective, a maximum security facility, but for the dogs, once introduced carefully, a multisensory 3D cinema showing all of the latest blockbusters. And a rather nice place to sit with them in the morning as they lie on the step and sniff the breeze (it just smells of coffee to me). Supervised play in the garden at large, using the rewards so cherished (well, not all of them…my poor hebe) as opportunites for connection. “Oh what a lovely twig” echoing through the village as I applaud her circuits with her latest find. The garden may be an adventure playground, but at the moment, one needs a ticket for admission. “I Told You So” I didn’t see it coming until I saw it coming. But there it is. There are creeping buttercups taking over the soil where I’ve lovingly planted so many beautiful flowers. A deep network of runners allowing it to spread quickly throughout the entire garden, imperceptible until it’s almost ready to blossom, and impossible to fully uproot. I analogise it to the unintended learning I’ve helped to sustain: unseen until it becomes an interference with design; resilient and persistent. Suppression wouldn’t and shouldn’t be an option, and there are places where it can continue to flourish, but management will be needed to prevent it taking over. As we move through adolescence to adulthood, I’ll no doubt become increasingly aware of what has been flourishing beneath the surface. Much of it will be wondrous, I hope, but much of it will need support… As will I. Along with the occasional “I told you so.” Be-toothed Learning Machines The thing they don’t tell you is that raising a puppy is DANGED HARD WORK. Biting everything, peeing everywhere, eating anything; not for the faint hearted.

Read More A Day of Learning A no-training day does not mean he gets a lazy day lying idly in the sun. Learning is still happening and this is significant and important for his development.

When 12 weeks old hits, and you will feel a slam, the Delight is going to demonstrate ungrateful, obnoxious traits. Read More A New Puppy. Oh Joy.

It is worth listening to as it keeps us alive. Read More Duration or is it Breakfast in Bed? Teaching duration has become a very muddied understanding or what it is and how to teach it. This is partly due to how we use words that are the same but have entirely different meanings. Read More Cognitive Approach for the Dogs Training is something done TO the dog. Learning that is something done FOR the dogs. Read More Nose Target. No thanks Nose target is a popular behaviour taught to many dogs, and other animals. It seems easy to teach and have practical application, but it is often not such a pleasant experience for all dogs. There are many other options available that give the same practical benefit, without the unpleasant extremes. Read More Reasons to use a clicker The concept of “being a clicker trainer” is always going to lead to argument and misunderstanding because it cannot exist alongside the science and technology. It is a “fakery” of our time. The clicker itself is a simple tool that when used in conjunction with technology provides clarity and understanding in teaching. Read More Stop doing that …. Can we teach an effective Cease That Behaviour? Absolutely. We can teach that positively, without harm, and we should teach them the skills of stopping that and doing this instead.
