In this conversation, Krista from Harlow’s Heroes discusses her organization’s mission to support K9 units and their handlers. She shares how she started the organization, the impact it has had on the community, and the challenges she faces in fundraising.

Episode 212: Using Tone Avoidance in Dog Training
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Subscribe: RSS
This is our first episode from the Hold the Line K9 Conference Series and the gents chat with a repeat guest, Todd Mona. Mona has been a police officer with East Hartford PD in Connecticut for almost two decades, and has been a K9 handler since 2006.
In this conversation, your hosts and Mona discuss the use of tone avoidance in dog training. They delve into how tone can be used as a negative marker, followed by a stim, to teach dogs to leave things alone, and how it can be used to create a verbal “out” command. They also discuss the use of vibration as a silent “out” command and recall cue. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clear communication and the reduction of high-level stimulation in dog training.
You’ll want to take notes during this episode, that’s for sure! So be sure to listen to it on!
