We all know the power of reinforcement in modifying behavior, yet why
does it sometimes seem to cause as many problems as it solves? Why
do dogs become dependent upon the presence of reinforcers for
performance and why must training programs include having to fade the
use of them? We’ll discuss the incredible ability random schedules of
reinforcement have on modifying behavior and how to apply these
principles in the most effective way possible when teaching new skills.
The hypothesis presented will be that because they are almost impossible
to maintain without conscious effort or computer generated templates,
maybe they could and should be eliminated and replaced with a system
that is even more effective.

and teaching skills to dogs and their humans. Taped

REFERENCE BOOK

This new reference workbook is a must for everyone pursuing THE THIRD WAY and a perfect compliment to every video tape
set. It is a comprehensive accumulation of graphics and write-ups on the philosophy and techniques for teaching, problem
solving, and problem preventing.
Chapter One – Teaching Methodology details how to use THE THIRD WAY to give dogs the best education possible. It
contains valuable descriptions about such important concepts as emotional states, behavior motor patterns, drives and
sensitivities, with the intent of assisting trainers in viewing each dog as a unique individual and training each as a unique
endeavor. It describes in depth the Three Essential Elements of Teaching and The Three Steps to Optimum Performance.
Chapter Two – Good Guidance and Management is full of ideas and suggestions about how to guide and manage as well as
very detailed write-ups on confinement techniques and management devices.
Chapter Three – The Three Foundation Games and More begins with explanations on introducing The Name Game and using the
Indicator to its full potential. Detailed recipes are included for teaching and proofing the foundation games as well as other
important skills such as relax, coming when called, stop signals and more. Other pertinent new explanations include a
step-by-step formula for teaching signals cues, the difference between contextual and signal cues, and how to deal with the
startle reflex during teaching and proofing. A sample lesson plan is also included.
Chapter Four – Problem Solving THE THIRD WAY compares the function and strategy of problem solving vs. teaching.
Readers are given a problem solving checklist, four owner options for dealing with problems, and then the four keys to solving
problems. Concepts are presented in support of the premise that the dog is always blameless and not responsible for the
problem, and suggestions are outlined from the prospective that people must take the initiative to rectify the situation
because dogs cannot.
Along with a comprehensive glossary and bibliography, the appendix includes interesting and provocative articles on life
rewards, the natural weaning process and emerging new ideas on how the brain functions. |
