If you’re a professional trainer, you already know reinforcement works.
But here’s the harder question:
Is your reinforcement delivery shaping behavior the way you think it is?
Because:
- reinforcement placement changes movement patterns
- delivery speed changes latency
- marker timing changes emotional tone
- treat trajectory changes position stability
- break structure changes session fluency
- transport strategy changes engagement
Most training problems are not motivation problems.
They’re delivery problems.
WHAT THIS COURSE IS REALLY ABOUT
This is not a course about “using treats.”
It is a course about:
- reinforcement architecture
- marker systems under stimulus control
- mechanical fluency
- delivery patterns that build (or destroy) precision
- how reinforcement creates default behavior
If your dog:
- creeps forward after reinforcement
- bites your fingers
- breaks position
- offers chaotic behaviors during shaping
- struggles with transport between reps
- loses clarity during sessions
The problem may not be criteria.
It may be mechanics.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Over six weeks, we dissect:
• Marker cue systems (one? two? when?)
• Reinforcement placement and its behavioral consequences
• Toss vs direct delivery (and why it matters biomechanically)
• Transport strategies that preserve engagement
• Clean break structures
• Reinforcement schedules in early shaping
• How poor delivery creates extinction loops
• How reinforcement patterns build emotional stability
You will begin seeing training sessions in slow motion.
And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
- You are a trainer who wants sharper mechanics
- You feel something in your sessions is “off” but can’t pinpoint it
- You want fluency, not just success
- You care about stimulus control
- You want to stop blaming dogs for what mechanics created
This course is technical.
It is precise.
It will expose things in your training you didn’t know were there.
And that’s the point.

This isn’t about learning something new.
It’s about refining what you already do — to a professional level.
WHAT CHANGES AFTER THIS COURSE?
You will:
- deliver reinforcement intentionally
- design cleaner shaping loops
- reduce frustration behaviors
- increase clarity
- improve transport and transitions
- understand why reinforcement value fluctuates
- stop accidental extinction
- build stronger emotional stability in dogs
And most importantly:
You’ll stop reinforcing things you didn’t mean to reinforce.

Course Testimonials
Wow! I mean seriously wow! This is the second course I take with Tromplo and there will hopefully be many more to come 😀 Who even knew there was just so much to learn and to consider to make your training sessions as successful as possible and thus also more enjoyable and less frustrating for both you and your dog?!
I found both the written lectures and the videos highly informative and it was easy to implement at home and with every feedback I got for the videos I sent in my understanding and my skills as a trainer have increased. Not only that, but it was a pleasure all along and the homework sometimes was very thought provoking.
The site is very well structured and userfriendly, feedback is fast and always meticulous, with suggestions for your next session, so no matter your level you will improve.
I believe that most dog owners would benefit from this course and since you can do it anywhere anytime as long as you have an internetconnection it really is superconvenient =)
