"My entire philosophy and training system is designed to make life with your dog easy for BOTH of you."- Haz Othman Imagine a dog that promptly obeys you whether he is next to you or 100 yards away. That comes when he is called, does not make pointless noise or destroys your house. This is only possible through a balanced training approach.  I don’t rely on bribery nor do I rely on punishment.

In this series of articles I speak to some of the common thinking errors and myths perpetrated by the purely positive or force free type training community. Allow me to preface this series by saying that I am well aware of how to use a clicker, treats, toys, manage thresholds, stimulation, and motivation in dog training. In fact I use many of these training tools in my own practice often in concert with other techniques. In this series of articles we examine...

The Problem with Purely Positive/Force Free Training #2 – Science Based…or is it?

Digital Perception2025-03-18T06:16:09+00:00

Let us first address the concept of science based training.  Many force free training advocates will tell you that their approach is supported by science.  That animals trained with positive reinforcement are proven to learn new behaviors more quickly then if they are punished.  Guess what!  This is absolutely true. Unfortunately this is not the complete truth.BF Skinner is the noted behaviorist best known for his development of the learning theory, 'Operant Conditioning' which is recognized as one of the...

The Problem with Purely Positive/Force Free Training #3 – Motivation, what could go wrong?

Digital Perception2025-03-18T06:17:06+00:00

The fundamental basis behind all positive training systems is using motivators to teach and strengthen behaviors. A motivator is anything that your dog desires, usually food or a toy. The trainer offers the motivator to the dog after he performs the desired behavior thus making that behavior more likely. Seems simple enough, what could go wrong? The trouble with relying exclusively on motivators to train your dog is that they change day to day, hour to hour and minute to minute....

Digital Perception2025-03-18T06:32:58+00:00

The following is an excerpt from our upcoming book on dog training.STRESS and PLEASURE in DOG TRAININGI will start with stress as this is a topic often misunderstood in dog training.

ABOUT US

I first started working dogs over 10 years ago as a K9 handler for a private security company. Since that time, I have spent years studying canine behavior, learning theory and psychology. My experience includes behavior modification, aggression rehab, protection training, competitive obedience and more.

I have selected, raised, imported and trained numerous dogs for various working applications. We now have a breeding program producing some of the best working dogs in the country.

I developed a Functional Obedience Training system that is now used by numerous trainers and has brought success to thousands of dog owners.
