What is Do as I Do?
 “An innovative approach to dog training that awakens your dog’s natural skills” With Do as I Do, dogs learn faster, generalize more, and remember the learned action for longer than with other methods.  This lecture will give you a great introduction!

Do as I Do is a new training method based on a dog’s social cognitive skills, particularly on their predisposition to learn from humans. With this technique, dogs will learn new behaviors observing and imitating their owners. Check it out with an introductory course, that gives you 3 unique lectures and the possibility to listen to the method authors. Don’t forget to share your thoughts with other community members – together we can train online!

The course is available and open for you for 90 days after the payment.
 
Claudia Fugazza
Researcher at the Department of Ethology in Eötvös Loránd University (Budapest). Her research is focused on dogs’ social cognitive abilities. She developed a training method called Do as I Do (named after Hayes & Hayes 1952 and Topál et al. 2006), which relies on dog’s imitative skills and is currently using it as paradigm to study dogs’ cognition. Due to its effectiveness, this method also spread in the applied field of dog training and she devote part of her research to study its effectiveness.

Obtained her PhD in Ethology at Eötvös Loránd University (Budapest) conducting research on social learning and imitation in dogs.

Received her B.Sc. on Dog Breeding and Education (TACREC), a Master in Ethology of Companion Animals and a Master in Dog Training at the University of Pisa (Italy).
