Summary

Today's episode is extremely special because we get to chat with our friend, Pat Nolan, about training in drive. It's also special because you can head over to our youtube channel and WATCH this episode to see the videos Pat and Bob discuss during this episode. Aside from catching up with Pat, we chat about collar conditioning and his thoughts on "the goldilocks method." We also spend a lot of time discussing training in drive and how Pat uses this technique to engage dogs and essentially teach them faster and in a more thorough manner. We also discuss conditioned responses with reward markers, teaching directions to younger dogs, using tables to teach, what "force" means to Pat and finally, we discuss miscommunications in training and how to handle these situations. As always, it is a pleasure to hang out with Pat, hear stories about some of his dogs and the types of work they're doing and soak in some knowledge because boy, there's a lot to take notes on. If you're interested in hearing more from Pat, join a seminar or sign up for his online courses, then check out his website here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
