What Is It?

Welcome to Brains Over Brawn - Miss Behaviour's free mini-course designed to offer insight into the science behind why I approach dog training the way I do - with positive reinforcement and trust-based learning. This course will give you a foundational understanding of the principles of force-free training, help you decide if my approach to dog training is the right fit for you, and provide the baseline knowledge you’ll need before diving into any of my other courses.

Force-free training focuses on teaching dogs in a kind and respectful way, using reinforcement and repetition to build the desired behaviours. You'll learn why outdated methods based on fear and dominance don't work in the long term, and how evidence-based, force-free training leads to a trusting, cooperative relationship with your dog.

If you are an analytical and curious thinker seeking to gain a deeper understanding of how dogs think, learn and exist in our human world, this is the place for you!
