Anyone who wants to teach their dog something needs a certain understanding of the learning behavior. We’re talking about the theory of learning, which, incidentally, can also be applied to other animals – even to human beings. Anyone who learns more about this this exciting topic, is much better in dog training afterwards.

Because the learning laws do not come around: whether they are applied consciously or not, whether you work with markers, with food or toys or without everything: the learning laws take place anyway. And once you have understood this learning system, you know why training with marking signal, food & Co. is so very effective and meaningful, and why learning does not happen without emotions.
