Favorite “VIDEO” trainers:
- Gabor Korom, Dogschool of Népsziget, Hungary — Mirror Method training incorporates positive reinforcement through the use of a clicker. The trainer teaches the dog by encouraging it to mimic his or her actions by three basic strategies.
- – Building the relationship with the dog and establishing its ranking order in everyday life
- – Teaching the dog by using only positive reinforcement and the clicker with absolutely no force or negativity involved
- – Enforcing the dog’s required lifestyle by providing him with the opportunities to work down his instinct-energies
