Description

In this episode we discuss:

  • Speed vs. Latency:
    • Speed is how fast a behavior is completed from the time it starts.
    • Latency is the response time, or the time elapsed between when the cue is perceived and when the behavior starts.
  • Motivation:
    • While motivation is essential, it is just one piece of the puzzle.
    • Overemphasizing motivation can lead to frustration, which might not always yield the desired outcomes.
  • Natural Behavior Efficiency:
    • Given a stable training environment, behaviors naturally trend towards faster, more efficient performance over time.
  • Training Environment:
    • The importance of considering training conditions (e.g., environment, timing, footing) to ensure optimal speed without inducing frustration.
    • Pay attention to when, where, and under what conditions your dog already moves faster
