Struggling With Duration Behaviors? You’re Not Alone.
Teaching duration is one of the most common challenges trainers face.
Maybe you’ve tried the “just wait a little longer before clicking” approach… only to end up with a frustrated dog throwing out every behavior in the book.
Maybe your dog can hold position for a second or two, but then starts offering sits, downs, touches—or barking—instead of staying still.
Or maybe you’ve avoided duration altogether because you don’t want to rely on extinction or negative punishment.
👉 This webinar is here to help.
