In this episode we discuss:
- Speed vs. Latency:
- Speed is how fast a behavior is completed from the time it starts.
- Latency is the response time, or the time elapsed between when the cue is perceived and when the behavior starts.
- Motivation:
- While motivation is essential, it is just one piece of the puzzle.
- Overemphasizing motivation can lead to frustration, which might not always yield the desired outcomes.
- Natural Behavior Efficiency:
- Given a stable training environment, behaviors naturally trend towards faster, more efficient performance over time.
- Training Environment:
- The importance of considering training conditions (e.g., environment, timing, footing) to ensure optimal speed without inducing frustration.
- Pay attention to when, where, and under what conditions your dog already moves faster
