Working Your Dog "Over Threshold" Is Necessary

Send us Fan MailDo you have an excitable dog that hangs up the phone? Or a nervous dog? All the information out there seems to say that during the training process you should keep your dog under threshold. Threshold refers to the point at which your dog starts to boil over and make the decisions that you are working hard to change. Keeping dogs under threshold may sound great, but unfortunately the real world will often throw a monkey wrench in that plan. Also, is it actually a great idea to keep your dog under their threshold?Here is the thing.. you can't learn to make a different decision in a certain situation if you're never in that situation. And you can't learn to make a different decision without varying consequences.  So what does that mean?

I talk about how we do it here and give specific examples.Support the showLove the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!
