Behavior Chains in Dog Training

Behavior Chains in Dog Training Broward County South FloridaHere’s a fun, one-minute video of training bits of a behavior chain. What’s a behavior chain? It’s separately trained behaviors that when put together make a finished product. For example, teaching a dog to lie down, grab a blanket, hold the blanket, roll over, and cover himself. That’s a behavior chain: Many smaller behaviors that when connected, make one big, fluid behavior.

The dogs and I train daily. They love training as much as I do. Here are those snippets of what will ultimately be a rocking behavior chain for a Christmas video in 2014. Stay tuned.
