Jigsaw Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Sophia Yin has a Learn to Earn Program - similar to NILIF - HERE - there's a link to a free poster on this page you could hand out. On the flip side Kathy Sdao has a new book called Plenty in Life is Free -Here - an alternative to NILIF. Dogs do lots in life that is right, we're just really bad at reinforcing it!

Weasels Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 On the flip side Kathy Sdao has a new book called Plenty in Life is Free -Here - an alternative to NILIF. Dogs do lots in life that is right, we're just really bad at reinforcing it! I think NILIF & PILIF are both worth thinking about! I started off using fairly strict NILIF on my dogs but soon realised that because I have high energy dogs I wanted to reinforce calm, lying quietly on their mat, not following me around etc. and from the dogs' POV that is the same as a free treat. So I chilled out on it after that, and use a balance where most things have to be 'earned' but there is lots of 'free' stuff too (especially pats :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 That's what I am doing now with my 2 Weasels So far so good. A good balance of both. Free pats & lots of cuddles :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
