Book excerpt: "New Advances in Training Dogs Using Social Learning! When Do As I Do was first published, Claudia Fugazza showed the dog training world that dogs engage in social learning and have an ability to learn behaviors by observing and imitating, not only other dogs, but people as well. Ten years later, spurred by their continued research, Claudia and her colleagues based in Hungary have developed new protocols to help owners and trainers use social learning more effectively. This 2nd edition focuses on a newly named "Foundation Phase," the most critical and time-consuming part of the process, and provides self-tests with which you can measure how well you understand the concepts and training techniques to utilize social learning with dogs. Do As I Do remains a particularly valuable tool when training service dogs and canine athletes who must master skills a variety of skills. An accompanying video can be accessed at no cost through a link provided in the book. Learn about: The fascinating research which shows that dogs can observe, then imitate human behavior and remember it over time. How you can start with a known behavior, then teach the dog to perform the behavior after observing you demonstrate it, followed by the new cue "Do it!" Eventually the dog learns that "Do it!" means to do whatever has just been demonstrated by the trainer, even new behaviors. How this method can build a closer bond between you and your dog, bring new energy and joy to your training efforts and challenge your thinking about how dogs learn"--
