TECHNIQUE TO BLOCK THE YO-YO EFFECT FOR CONTROL OF RETURN
OBJECTIVE
To avoid possibly generated by a yo-yo effect in the dog by applying a series of specific preventive guidelines. The yo-yo effect is a behavioral phenomenon that I discovered in some dogs, who systematically returned to his guide after passing a certain distance, thus obeying a kind of mental inertia rooted. This is a habit that is particularly damaging in the rescue dog, what which affects the autonomy and initiative in dogs search operations.
Circumstances in which IMPLEMENTED
Basically when the dog for some kind of return to the guide, or away waiting to be called.
GUIDELINES
- Keep the use of call orders to a minimum. I've noticed that overuse of the orders of call was the main cause that leads dogs to acquire this habit.
- When the dog, avoid any action that involves certain reinforcement effect (ie endearments, caresses, the game kind of behavior, etc.).
GRADUAL AUTONOMY OF THE ART OF EFFECT DUMMY
OBJECTIVE By managing to get the dog to dissociate the guide as a means of support possible, we will gradually improve:
- The level of autonomy and the focus on the search.
- The scope of the armor due to the important effect of the contrast produced guides from the dummy does not change attitude to further strengthening active, euphoric. - The dog duly remaining at the point of location, while signaling.
Circumstances in which applies when the work session the dog returns to the guide or apart from the guide is intended to bring to its attention any way (barking, standing on its hind legs, etc), the guide should take the mannequin pose, giving the reinforcement in a rational and balanced work sessions or interventions real.
GUIDELINES The guide must always keep the company, inert and does not change the attitude towards the dog, ignoring any kind of physical violence (including facial) or verbal reactions, as if s / he was a simple dummy.
RESTORATION TECHNIQUE SOUND safe insertion
OBJECTIVE
A harmlessly restore the behavior of working dogs in view of possible disturbances of distractions. In general terms, how to repeat the search order is considered as harmful because of its negative effect on the line of dogs of the initiative, I decided to select this special procedure, which is highly effective
When applied CIRCUMSTANCES
This resource can be applied under relative silence that usually characterize the initial stages of learning, though obviously not be feasible in a search operation with auditory adverse factors. However, it should be borne in mind that a dog at this stage and does not suffer from the same susceptibility fragile at first, because their own ability to re-establish its behavior has also been substantially developed.
GUIDELINES - Dogs perception of noise interferes sometimes caused short (something that moves on the ground, struck by an object, etc) causes an instant break type in your deviant and emerging line of care, acting as a brief pause after which desirable behavior is the base once restored. - We should try to ensure that the dog does not perceive the source of the sound produced. - The sound emitted to be inserted as simultaneously as possible with Distraction show dogs and intense enough without being excessive to achieve the objective in each case.
LOCATION TECHNIQUE FOR COMPENSATION FEASIBLE of negative factors
OBJECTIVE
- To ensure that the dog is successful in search of work without jeopardizing the goal of progress in learning the exercise.
- To preserve and foster dogs motivational state, which is key to the successful development of the learning process. - To prevent adverse situations of failure and frustration in the initial training phase, which will promote an increase in stimulus positive debris environment should result in the dog.
When applied CIRCUMSTANCES
During the learning phase and, occasionally, during the training.
BASIC GUIDELINES
- The analysis and adaptation should be conducted on the factors or elements that might hypothetically affect the search of dogs either positively or negatively (Level of motivation, the presence of strong drivers, weather conditions, etc.).
- Then should define the guidelines of exercise to do, in obedience to a supposed state of balance or previous compensation that allows the dog to succeed with the corresponding progress and without the support of the guide. Mainly intervene in the basic factors that can be manipulated, as the position of the release or the location of the caches.
NO REQUESTS FOR SUPPORT CLAIM WITHOUT RESTRICTED APPROXIMATION TECHNIQUE
OBJECTIVE - To carry out a search successfully. - To increase the level of security when the signs of the person buried.
Circumstances When applied - This technique applies only occasional instances in supporting counter-checks are considered less than dogs imminent failure, but the repeated use of this technique could put compromise the potential of dogs autonomy. - When a certain amount of insecurity negatively affects the marking guidelines. - This is used mainly in the phase initial learning.
GUIDELINES - The guide is about the dog walk calmly toward the point of location (where the dog tends to be) without any strange movement or verbal expression. The guide should stop when s / he estimates that s / he has passed the dog the minimum support required. - This technique not should be applied there must be a support request or a return by the guide dog, in order to avoid possible negative conditioning.
TECHNICAL CALIBRATED BY STRENGTHENING CONTROL OF TRIPLE
OBJECTIVE
- To enhance the positive effect of reinforcement - promoting signaling pattern when necessary - to control this achievement of success by dogs in the search task, the preservation and promotion of their motivation level to the activity.
When CIRCUMSTANCES applies
During the initial learning and training phase, especially when carrying out searches in chains.
BASIC GUIDELINES
The instructor himself puts you at a strategic point that allows him / her with minimal disruption to observe dog behavior that carries out the search and act accordingly. S / he will control three key variables through Transceiver: - The person trick concrete reinforcing effects. - The best time to start the reinforcement.
- The type of reinforcement (intensity, duration, etc..) The instructor should assess in advance a set of key factors:
- Learning goals for the year.
- Signage for the dog (fluency, perseverance, goals, etc.).
- Energy or motivational state observed in the dog.
- Possible states of confusion or inhibition in the dog. In fact, during exercise, the instructor should capture and analyze any significant nuances reflected by the dog during the search or action signaling the end of what truly effective control of the three variables.
Chained SEARCH FOR THE TECHNICAL PERSON BURIED imitation deterrence OBJECTIVE - To keep the dogs required levels of autonomy, motivation and concentration in any consecutive searches for its signaling.
When applied CIRCUMSTANCES
- In search operations during learning training or assistance.
GUIDELINES
When the ads that the guide dog is a sign of the hidden extras, s / he will draw the dog to the race that rewards you with a pet and a brief greeting discrete verbal (in an actual intervention, the rubble mark with spray paint must not be the victim accessible), attach the strap of the dog and the view of all make a strong, decisive body turn away from the desired point, then that should remain guides back. Then s / he must turn to the new area to be searched, and begins a new search. I've seen this avoidance action the body by the guide at the point of the signal tends to cause the dog a special deterrent effect, the utility that frees the attraction exerted by the extra, and foster their willingness to try to locate someone buried, especially driven by the expectations of the search string has already created, which comes on strengthening unpredictable. The guide should seek to ensure that this back
"Money is seen by the dog, and should always keep the point made by the dog on his back. Just Thus, the possible sense of frustration that could be triggered by the total lack of positive reinforcement is attenuated by discrete reinforcing actions of the guide, thus avoiding the emergence of a possible inhibitory effect. We must seize this emerging sense of frustration, a unit of certain impulses, which will serve to energize and motivate behavior Search below.
