What’s the difference that makes the difference? In canine sports, precision is the name of the game for consistent success. But precision in the big picture is the goal, not the key to success in the way that you might have thought. Trainers go out of their way to figure out what the goal behavior is, what it looks like. That is necessary for success, but there’s more! When precision is the goal for your learner’s behavior, attention to detail in the surroundings from foundation training onward is what’s going to get you there. Here, Emelie Johnson Vegh works with Tessa on precision in heeling by teaching a calm head.

At ClickerExpo Washington, DC, Eva Bertilsson and Emelie will explore how building fluency and precision in the trainer’s behavior, in all of those details, enables precision in learner behavior.
