Key ideas in Mastering the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
- Dilated pupils and treat refusal indicate peak arousal
- Physical or loud corrections add 'fuel to the fire' for high-arousal breeds
- At the 'point of no return', the dog's brain is in a reactive rather than a learning state
- Wheatens often interpret physical correction as part of the high-energy interaction
- Identifying the physiological point of no return in arousal
- Why traditional correction backfires with Wheatens
- The Premack Principle uses a high-probability behavior to reinforce a low-probability one
- Immediate removal from the stimulus is the first priority
- For a Wheaten, the person is the ultimate reward
- Lowering the baseline heart rate must happen before resuming work
- Applying the Premack Principle to jumping
- Designing a reset protocol for overstimulation
- Verbal cues are ineffective when a dog is over threshold
- Increasing distance is the fastest way to bring a dog back to a thinking state
- The dog must learn that calmness is the 'key' to the reward
- Environmental permission shifts the focus from the handler to the situation
