Details of the
course
Training course
through the contact barrier - or "separated and yet closer to each
other"
A course of a
specific form of positive animal training led by professional trainer RNDr.
František Šusta, PhD., author of the books Training is a conversation... and
others.
Who is the course
suitable for: Basically for any human-dog pair, including those who live
together in a normal, problem-free relationship. For such people, the course
will simply bring "something new" and a new, interesting form of
work. However, it will be very useful for owners of shy or aggressive dogs, for
whom touching or procedures such as eye or ear drops, teeth cleaning, claw
correction, etc. are a problem... And especially for owners of adopted animals
dealing with difficult experiences from the past.
Motivation:
Do you want to
try something new, learn the skills of a "zoo trainer" and at the
same time teach yourself and your dog a very useful form of cooperation that
surprisingly GIVES THE ANIMAL CONFIDENCE, FREEDOM AND A REALLY POSITIVE
TRAINING ATTITUDE? So come and learn the so-called protected contact together.
Training through a barrier is a very common form of work with zoo animals and
for the layman it may give the impression that it is cowardice on the part of
the trainer. In reality, however, a barrier provides a sense of security to the
animal more and therefore even shy individuals cooperate much better through
it. Behind the barrier, usually a contact grid, the animal has its own SAFE
PLACE where no one can interfere.
No form of
pressure can be applied to him and he can freely give START and STOP at any
time through it. In protected contact, pet trainers manage a number of
treatments from Claw Trimming, Eye Drops and Teeth Cleaning to Blood Collection
and Injections. So why not get inspired for our life with a dog even if we are
not afraid of each other?
However, this
form of work without the possibility of interfering with the animal's space has
its own peculiarities and procedures, as well as the basics that should not be
underestimated at the beginning. In this course, I will share with you my
experience from training various species in protected contact, procedures from
other colleagues from abroad and together we will apply everything to our dogs.
Course format:
The course takes place over two months in three meetings of an eighteen-member
group via Zoom (you keep the recording) and then in an individual consultation
between the lecturer and each participant. As part of this consultation, each
participant can send a video of their training with questions to the lecturer
once after each joint meeting and receive feedback and answers (i.e. a total of
max. 3 consultations for the entire course). If the participant agrees, their
video can be discussed directly at the next meeting on Zoom. EVERY DOG IS
DIFFERENT AND I EXPECT THAT WE WILL TOGETHER FIND PROCEDURES THAT ARE RIGHT FOR
YOU.
