Besides the fact that the dog will learn what behaviour to perform when it hears the word “sit” it
simultaneously learns how to learn (classical conditioning – the feeling associated with it). This is where
foundation training begins. What the dog has learnt during its foundation training will have a lasting
effect on its performance, for better or worse. During stress or problem solving the dog will always
attempt to access its foundation training as a point of reference. It is at this point in time where the dog
and trainer learn to speak the same language – or not! This critical stage of training requires firsthand
knowledge of animal learning, patience and specifically taught exercises.
Von Forell K9 Education offers you complete training opportunities for any promising young dog. We will
show you how to reinforce the genetic potential in your dog with the soundest training systems available.
Our seminars and workshops are specifically designed to bring about positive and permanent shifts in
your quality of training.
They are designed to help you view the training of dogs with complete new possibilities. Finally we will
cover the current state of global breeding practices and the impact on behaviour, what the breeder must
know about proper trait selection, developing their puppies and what they should be teaching their
puppy owners, how this impacts the type of dogs we end up in our community.
On a Personal Note
For any families, competitors or Law Enforcement Officers that wish to attend one of my seminars /
workshops, the information below is designed to provide you with some understanding as to the overall
structure and focus of the event.
Firstly I will commence with a general opening statement, the history and current global position of the
working dog world. I will discuss its belief systems, my philosophy on training dogs, my position on
positive and negative training systems, and all the possibilities it creates.
Then we shall discuss how to create and develop a proactive puppy or adult. I will illustrate the
advantages of establishing why this active training component is so important and how to achieve it, as it
is the underlying theme in my system.
We will cover the importance of the reinforcement of self-recovery, teaching the dogs how to “learn to
learn” and how they can manipulate their environment to access reward. We will cover conditioned
passive and active reward techniques and show you why one technique creates concentration whilst the
other creates motivation.
Shaping puppy behaviour is a vital part of the program but what is most important is the teaching of
active and passive states and the three essential behaviours. This set the dogs up for a successful and
obedient career.
The entire system is about creating a very strong basic foundation which is all possible within your own
home, providing a distraction free environment for optimum learning. My strong opinion is that group
classes are detrimental to canine learning in the initial stages and the only way to teach a dog properly is
to create a quality distraction free environment at home. Once that is established, I will then teach you
how to allow increasing distractions to enhance and solidify your dog’s target behaviours, and lock them
in.
An exciting aspect of this system is that it rapidly improves your relationship with your dog and
maintains harmony throughout his life. A system that is to a large degree maintenance free because the
behaviours are thoroughly understood by the dog.
I will also show you the use of prompts and containment fields to assist the concept of errorless learning,
and how modern training aids only amplify your dog’s responses, with thoughtful application. The
learning systems are designed for people who want to establish a great working relationship with their
dog, control their family pet, compete at a high level or improve and manage their tactical Police Dog.
