Learn what focus actually means in training
Focus is not a fixed state and it is not one vague behavior. To train it well, we need to define what the learner will do, under which conditions, and what allows the training loop to continue.
In this recorded webinar, Agnieszka Janarek examines engagement as an observable training question. You will see how participation, prerequisite behaviors, reinforcement placement, and the return to the next repetition influence what trainers often call “focus.”
What you will explore
- How to replace a broad label such as “focus” with behaviors you can observe and measure.
- Why different contexts—obedience, husbandry, mantrailing, and everyday training—require different focus contingencies.
- How prerequisite behaviors support a clean training loop and more advanced skills.
- How to evaluate progress without treating attention as something the dog either has or does not have.
How this connects to Attention Please
