In this episode, we discuss intermittent and variable reinforcement in dog training and how these methods can help strengthen and maintain behaviors over time. By varying the timing and frequency of rewards, trainers can keep dogs more engaged and responsive. We explore the science behind why unpredictable reinforcement works, and when to apply it in training routines. Whether you're focusing on basic cues or more advanced behaviours, understanding these reinforcement strategies can support more consistent and lasting results. Join us for a thoughtful look at how timing and variability can shape behavior more effectively.   Find us online >> Panos @ www.npdogtraining.com >> Luke @ www.kizunacanine.com.au >> www.facebook.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.instagram.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.lifewithyourdogpodcast.com
