“Never, during the Whiplash Turn game, use the leash to make the puppy turn to you. Do not take his collar to turn his head to you either. Let the puppy figure it out. Let him learn that his behavior causes new opportunities to arise. Let him get addicted to paying attention to you because the body movements associated with attention behavior, such as turning his head in your direction, cause awesome things to happen.”

“The last parts of the predatory motor pattern are dissection and eating. This releases happy hormones and promotes relaxation and contentment, so this is what we need to replicate in our cool-down exercises by scattering treats.”

“This is why I use the Give Me a Break game structure in so much of my training, because it gives the dogs the opportunity to tell me that they want to keep working. It gives them the choice to take on the pressure of social interaction and work, or to take a break. It makes the conversation between us much more dynamic and much less arbitrary. It is the best way I know of letting the dog tell me how much he is ready for and when he is ready for it.”
