In any education process, there's what the educator is teaching and there is what the learner is learning.

And anybody who's ever spent any time in an algebra class knows those two are often not

the same thing. Hi, I'm Susan Garrett and welcome to Shape by Dog. This concept is incredibly

important for those of us who own and love and want well-behaved dogs because in a classroom,

there is what the teacher is teaching, but there's other elements

like how much you apply yourself doing your homework or how well you pay attention in class.

There's a lot of things that the teacher can put their hands on their hips and go,

we took this. You should know this. We took this already. And let me just share with you

that as a dyslexic child going through an

education process, just because you thought you taught it doesn't mean I was learning it,

sister. I can tell you that much for shizal, but I digress. Let's talk dogs because with dogs,

there isn't any, did you do your homework or did you pay attention.

It's all on us guys. It is 100% on us. If there is a distance between what we thought we

trained and what the dog is showing us they know, Ty doesn't go to the runner here. It all is about what the dog is demonstrating

because there's a flaw in the system and today I'm going to share with you how you can fix a big

part of that flaw. It all comes down to something called a reinforcement process and there's six, well, five elements, sometimes six.

It sounds like I don't know what I'm talking about. Trust me on this. I'll get to what that

sixth element may be. But there's for sure five elements and sometimes six elements to the

reinforcement process. And the vast majority of the people that I see with their dogs at the

park walking down the street are messing this up. And honestly, you can fix it. Just by listening

to this podcast, trust me, you can fix it. First, let me share with you what the reinforcement

process looks like. Now, let me share with you what the reinforcement process looks like.
