How to Evaluate De-Escalation Activities
By Ellen Yoakum, KPA CTP

While there are a number of approaches to teaching and bolstering this skill set, de-escalation activities or long-term calming projects are foundational and effective ways to start! The good news is that you can get started right away with a few easy steps.

Teach “Head in a Prop” for Performance or Care Behaviors
|
|
|
|
The “Head in a Prop” behavior requires the dog to place his/her head in a prop or piece of equipment and remain there for duration. In this video, Michele Pouliot demonstrates the beginning steps of the behavior using rewards strategically to encourage stillness and duration. These same training steps can be used to train care behaviors, such as introducing muzzles.

CTP of the Month: Sarah Stoycos
|
|
|
|
“In my work with dogs and people, the focus is on teaching desired behaviors rather than resorting to punitive measures. I now define myself by what I support rather than what I oppose. In today's culture, which often emphasizes negativity, I strive to redirect my focus toward contributing to positive change in any way I can.” Read more from our CTP of the Month, Sarah Stoycos.
