Whether you have a new puppy or a longtime pet, learn the basics of how to start training the recall command using the food method. This is a great starting point in beginning the process of creating a language with your K9. The food method is the first step in developing neuron connectivity within your K9. The goal is to create balance in the K9s central nervous system. Conditioned stimuli is the "Here" command and hand signal: left arm held out to the side at shoulder level with palm towards the K9, lower arm to hip. The Unconditioned stimuli is the food treat, petting, and a slight pull on the leash. *GOALS* 1. recall the K9 by the command or hand signal 2. development of the condition reflex to sit in front of the trainer after the approach. 3. increase of the time the K9 must sit in front of the developer after its approach. 4. recalling the K9 from any position. 5. developing reliability even in the presence of distracting stimuli. 6. controlling without the leash. 7. mastering the skill in complex environmental conditions along with other basic obedience and specialized skills.

The MWD method began with my journey to St. Petersburg Russia in 2012. There I began studying K9 training at the Royal Dog Academy under the direction of Maxim Basyro. Upon my return to the U.S. I spent the next 10 years developing dogs, studying dna, neuron activity, and connectivity of the central nervous system. MWD K9 was founded in 2012 in order to develop the best possible training methods for K9 and humans. Now based in Columbus, Ohio, this YouTube Channel is our way of sharing what we've learned with you.

** ATTENTION** much of the training content is the wonderful and brilliant work of Mister Maxim Basyro. In 1996, from the youthful enthusiasm of dog training, followed by the practical experience of instructorcynologist training of service dogs and the personnel learning of cynological units from the frontier troops, an impulse was created within Basyro to create the first cynological center – “Ronald” in St. Petersburg. It was within the Ronald Cynological Center that Basyro began working on creating programs and techniques that later became the theoretical framework for all the educational and training process within the larger organizational framework of the Federation of Military Canines. Now, 25 years after the first steps in the path of professional cynology – this framework has been expanded many times. In 2016, in St. Petersburg, the fifth center of the Federation was opened with a full range of specialized cynological services, and has already begun expanding significantly within the borders of the Leningrad region. The practical cynological services of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation is organically combined, as well as Maxim Basyro’s own methods for training both dogs and their handlers. With more than 25years’ experience in the field of practical cynology, Basyro founded the Public Federation of Military Canines to best train dogs. https://www.masterdogtraining.com
