COMPONENT TRAINING: MY DOG CAN DO IT!!

One of the pillars of the Kocher Method is Component Training.

But what does this actually mean?

Components are the challenges a dog may encounter during a trail. Depending on how we expose the dog to these challenges and how they overcome them, our dog will gain self-confidence while being prepared to face everyday challenges or real-life service situations where they’ll need to work (if they are an operational dog).

These are some of the topics we cover in this webinar:

• What is a component?
• Deconstructing the trail.
• Components: What are they?
• Splitting vs. Lumping in canine training.
• Types of components.
• Component training: What is it? Why do it?
• Double reward components.
• Observing the dog.
• How to prepare a component. The Door ID.
