Lesson 1: Cause and Effect

How Dogs Learn: This lesson covers the simple rule behind every behavior your dog has: actions produce consequences, and consequences determine what happens next.

What's included:

What is a consequence in the first place and who decides if it’s good or bad?

Good consequence = more behavior: why some actions get repeated and grow stronger

Bad consequence = less behavior: why some actions go away immediately or fade over time

Every moment teaches: how greetings, meals and walks shape behavior, even when you're not training

How habits form: how repeated outcomes turn into patterns, good or bad

What you allow, you teach: recognizing the consequences you're already giving your dog

By the end, you'll be able to: Explain why your dog does what they do Spot the consequences behind your dog's current habits Start choosing outcomes on purpose
