Some of the most useful benefits and steps of the scaffolding technique in teaching dogs are outlined here. One of the key components to this dog training technique is clear direction. When dogs begin to learn a new technique, all of the necessary steps are laid out for them in detail, thus eliminating confusion and anxiety. Clear expectations. Dogs are naturally taught this technique by the puppy's parents. Learning through scaffolding, the pup knows exactly what the dog parent expects them to do from the beginning. Gradually increasing independence, motivation and momentum. When we simulate and teach the most understood way a dog learns, results are positive and the collection of information is invaluable. This information from learned success and learned failures is what dogs thrive on when being taught by people.
