thank you so very much Pat Miller for the lovely review of my new DVD The R.E.W.A.R.D. Zone!!!!!!!!! Im on a high, thanks to YOU! Pam Dennisons R.E.W.A.R.D. Zone for modifying reactive/aggressive dog behavior brings a fresh, new and exciting approach to a training world dominated by C.A.T., B.A.T., L.A.T. and counter conditioning methods. By helping the dog become enthusiastically engaged in a variety of training games and exercises and generously reinforcing behaviors that are incompatible with reactivity and aggression, the R.E.W.A.R.D. Zone process creates a positive association with the training environment. This happy association generalizes with the careful introduction of the stimuli that the dog was previously reacting to. The dog becomes so attentive to his handler and so engaged in the training activities that the other dog, human, or whatever, essentially becomes an irrelevant non-issue. The counter conditioning/desensitization process is almost incidental to the operant training exercises, and seems to occur more quickly, and without the dreary drudgery that can be part of a straight counter conditioning program. Im already contemplating how to add some of these very effective attention exercises into our own Reactive Rover workshops. I do wish the quality of the sound (due to wind: PSD) were better in some parts of this 3-disc DVD set. The information that Pam is offering is valuable, and deserves to be fully heard. (I have to tell you I was skeptical at first, but by the time I got to the end of the second disc I was sold.) Pat Miller, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA
