Both management and training have their place in humane, effective training. Knowing the difference between the two modes of interacting with the dog is key to helping your clients set clear expectations in any training program.

For many of our clients, they unknowingly drift between training and management. Because they are not clear on the difference, they believe their dog has learned X, Y or Z when in reality, they have managed the dog’s behavior, not taught actual skills. This frustrates the handler and leads to misunderstandings.

This webinar focuses on:

  • What is management?
  • Benefits & drawbacks of management
  • Does management always fail?
  • What is training?
  • Training vs prevention
  • The Think & Learn zone
  • Decision points: when to train, when to manage

Daily lives with our dogs are an ever changing blend of management and training, depending on the individual dog, our lifestyle, our skill level, expectations, and so many other factors. When a handler knows which mode they using at any given time, they can set realistic expectations for their dog’s behavior.
