DOES MUSCLE MEMORY HELP OR HURT YOUR PERFORMANCE BRITTANY?

Most trainers know that “what you reward gets repeated”. But did you know that whatever your dog does will increase the likelihood that it will happen again? Whether your realize it or not, each and every time your dog performs a behaviour, it is building muscle memory, that physically changes his brain and makes it likely that the behaviour will occur again. So the more your dog performs a behaviour (desirable or not), the more strongly it’s ingrained and your dog will tend to automatically repeat it whenever they encounter the same situation or command. If you set your dog up for successfully performing the behaviour you want, it will help you. If you allow the dog to fail repeatedly, the more it will hurt your performance in future. This article will explain what muscle memory is, and then show you how to use it to your advantage for dog sports.

HOW MUSCLE MEMORY AUTOMATES BEHAVIOUR Cognitive scripts are what your brain uses to automate daily tasks so you can think about more important things. One example is taking a shower. Most people start with adjusting the temperature, soaping one body part, moving to the next part, apply shampoo then conditioner, dry off, etc. Your brain probably follows a cognitive script so every time you shower you automatically perform the same set of actions, without consciously registering them. You might sometimes snap out of it and think “did I already wash my hair?” That’s when you switch off the auto play of the cognitive script to conscious thought. Similarly, most people use cognitive scripts for throwing a slam dunk in basketball, swinging a golf club, tying your shoes, driving home from work, completing a front cross in agility or performing heeling footwork in obedience, without ever understanding how it’s done. Dogs also use muscle memory to weave, perform running contacts or 2 on 2 off, to indicate target odor in nose work. Our brains and nerves function in similar ways.

MUSCLE MEMORY HARD WIRES THE BRAIN AND PATHWAYS OF NERVES When a human throws a ball, his arm transmits its position though his brain by a series of nerves in a pathway. Once the brain detects the arm’s position, it tells his arm to move higher/lower, left/right and how fast to move the muscles using a pathway of nerves. An experienced thrower uses an established path of nerves. He doesn’t consciously think about moving his arm 20 inches up or 3 inches left. Once the first nerve in the throwing pathway fires, the second nerve automatically fires, then the third and so on consecutively and he automatically throws the ball as a result. The more you repeat the behavior, the stronger the muscle memory pathway becomes, by forming more connections and stronger connections. More consistent, reliable performance is the end result of successful practices. If you’ve never thrown a ball, you don’t have muscle memory and you’ll think a lot about how to throw, with more inconsistent performance as a result. Only by many successful repetitions will muscle memory take over, perhaps even leaving you with the feeling that you’re “in the zone”.

USING MUSCLE MEMORY TO HELP TEACH YOUR DOG TO BE A GREAT WEAVER When you teach your dog to weave, you should set him up for success by training in a distraction free environment, with rewards your dog loves, at a time he is attentive. You can use guide wires (or channels or Weave-O-Matic) to show the dog the path to take to weave 4 or 6 poles, then reward. The dog doesn’t need to guess, since the wires show him the path to take. When the dog weaves the first time, the brain and limbs create a “weaving” pathway of

3 connected nerves. When he repeats weaving, the pathway is strengthened. More connections are created by the nerves in the weave pathway and the muscle memory becomes stronger. The dog doesn’t need to think about “collect to slow down, enter to the right of the first pole no matter where the handler is, move your left front paw 4 inches to the left and 12 inches beyond the pole, but instead muscle memory automatically takes over. Once the first nerve in the pathway fires, the second will fire, the third and so on, with the inevitable result of weaving, without conscious thought.

GUIDE WIRES HELP BUILD SUCCESSFUL MUSCLE MEMORY In comparison, if you use weave guide wires, they show the dog the path he should take through the weaves. The more he repeats the behavior, the more he strengthens the connected pathway of nerves and the more reliably he will weave. Keep the guides on while you introduce and practice all the scenarios and handling maneuvers your dog may encounter, including:

· All possible entry and exit angles · Distance – sends ahead, recalls, lateral distance · Front crosses, rear crosses and switches at the entry and exit · Distractions around weaves · Weave discrimination · Different weave equipment in different locations and environments · Changes of handler speed and path (converging, diverging) · Tunnel very close to the exit (may cause anticipation) · Chute before the weave entry (dog is blind in the chute, then must find entry quickly) · Weaves in short sequences, then entire courses

When you’d bet $50 that your dog will successfully weave in every possible scenario, you will have built strong muscle memory to carry your dog through to success as you gradually get rid of the guides.

FADE THE GUIDE WIRES It’s very important to note when your dog performs the weaves for the first time, he does NOT “know how to weave”. Only by repeating weaving many times WITH guides can he build muscle memory and learn reliable weave behavior. Progress by repeating weaving and rewarding, with the weave guides on, to ensure successfully building muscle memory for the performance you want. Gradually you can fade out the dog’s reliance on guide wires. Progress by moving from 2 sets of guide wires to one set at eye level, and then gradually lower the guides by ½ inch per session, while you continue to strengthen muscle memory. When the guides have been lowered to touch the ground, then you can start removing one wire per session. Remove guides from the idle of the set first. The entry and exit are the last guides to remove, as most dogs find those the most challenging pieces. Muscle memory should allow him to weave without conscious thought, unless he is distracted or thinking about other things.

PRACTICING UNDESIRABLE BEHAVIOUR HURTS PERFORMANCE In the introduction I mentioned that performing undesirable behavior increases the likelihood of undesirable behavior repeating. It’s critically important when you teach your dog to weave to set him up for successfully building muscle memory by using weave guides (or channels, etc.). If instead you run towards the weaves and hope your dog works it out, your dog will guess, and perform undesirable behavior. Perhaps he barks, enters after the second pole, and pops out. You try again. The dog barks, enters after the second pole, and pops out. The dog’s nervous system is now creating a pathway of connected nerves, for “unsuccessful weaving”. The stronger that muscle memory becomes, eventually when he sees the weaves, he’ll automatically bark, enter pole 2 and pop out. The more you repeat the behaviour, the more challenges you will face. Some experts say you can never delete a cognitive script once it’s written. Once the pathway of nerves is connected, the best you can do is to write a new cognitive script. Even then, in times of stress, dogs (and humans) tend to revert to the previously formed pathway. Muscle memory explains why it’s easier to train behaviors you want in the first place, rather than retraining once you’ve made the mistake of creating undesirable behavior.

DEALING WITH UNSUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE If your dog fails twice in a row, you need to make the exercise easier. Go back to the last set up when your dog was successful. If you don’t like an aspect of the dog’s performance, stop and don’t repeat it. Get help and make a plan for setting your dog up for success. Set up the environment where it’s unlikely that the dog will fail. For example, many handlers reward their dog late and the dog looks back at them anticipating a reward instead of looking forward to the next obstacle. If you repeat “weave look back” it will be very hard to correct. Rather than practicing failure, set him up for success by:

· Placing the reward at the weave exit so he will focus ahead to grab the reward as soon as he’s done weaving. · Getting your training partner to throw the reward at the exit · Asking your dog to perform a tunnel or jump (whatever he prefers) and deliver the reward after that obstacle so he automatically looks forward.

Always remember that perfect practice makes perfect performance. Simply put, set up your dog for success by breaking down skills into increments where the dog is highly likely to succeed and unlikely to fail. Repeat successful performance many times to build muscle memory and then consider fading helpful training tools to challenge the dogs understanding. Whenever your dog fails, you need to make it easier and plan how to set up the environment so the dog succeeds next time, building the hardwired pathway of connected nerves that create muscle memory, and then strengthen it so that you can rely on successful performance in future.

So, for starters, don’t also necessary that you do so. be quick to judge your dog for screwing up, because they At that point, put your dog back in the truck. Allowing all do it. What we do need to do is evaluate the situation, your dog to constantly be subjected to out of control dogs figure out the reason for the infraction, and then fix it. doing all the things your dog is trained not to do is the It’s important to recognize that there is no way – in a quickest way for a seasoned dog to spiral out of control training situation – that we can replicate the excitement of (even worse for the youngster). It’s a lot like letting your hunting. And it doesn’t take dogs long to figure out when children play with other children who have no real rules of you’re just training versus the real thing. They will react behavior; pretty soon, your kids are misbehaving, too. to training situations with a calmer, more workmanlike Hunting with a friend with a trained dog is by far the attitude because it’s just a drill and they know it. Remember better idea, but even then there can be some competitiveness having fire drills in grade school? We knew what there between the dogs. Make sure to hold your dog accountable were and what we had to do. Now imagine the difference for the level of training it has received. In an honor in the excitement level had there been a real fire! At that situation, make sure that if your dog is the honor dog, it stays put; and if your dog has the point and the other dog should break, enforce the steadiness in your dog. Taking other hunters and dogs out of the equation still leaves a lot that can go wrong. Wild birds are far more exciting than training birds, whether pigeons or pen- raised gamebirds. Because we never know how many there are in a given area, the sheer numbers (should you be so lucky!) can be overwhelming. Sometimes even the most veteran hunter will lose it when 40 pheasants fly up out of a fencerow at the end of a field, or a large covey of quail burst from the cover like popcorn. While situations like that don’t happen as often as we would like these days, the can and do occur. The good news from a training standpoint is that it’s not too likely 6 mistakes for first timers. But the old dogs aren’t’ immune, either. Many times, they think they know better anyway. Retrieving is another thing that can fall apart as the season progresses. If you’re working with a dog that is retrieving naturally with no formal training, some will stay consistent and others will often get so excited about finding birds that they either drop the bird halfway to you, or run to it as it falls and then ignore it if it’s dead, preferring to go find more live birds rather than retrieving. For these dogs, put a good trained retrieve, or force-fetch, program on your to-do list when hunting is done for the season. For the dog that has been through a formal retrieve training regimen, be sure to be consistent in your expectations and uphold the standard to which the dog has been trained. If you let little things slide, they can quickly turn into bad habits. one example of this is the dog that doesn’t hold the birds until you have your hand on it and give the release command. Instead, the dog drops the bird as you reach for it. Stop right there, use the “fetch” command, and make the dog pick it up and hold it. To reinforce this, have the dog walk at heel for a few steps while holding the bird. Stop, reach for the bird, and take your hand back before you touch it. Make the dog continue to hold until you reach back again and have a grip on the bird. Then allow the dog to release it. The flip side is a dog that brings you the bird but doesn’t want to give it up – or worse yet, decides halfway back that it wants to a snack. Again, a good trained retrieve program fixes this and gives you the to happen over and over, so while your dog may be pretty tools to correct it. But what if you haven’t gotten that excited and you may need to give a gentle reminder on the far in your training? For the dog that wants to stop and pull next find, it shouldn’t cause too much trouble in the long feathers or munch on the bird, the “here” command is your run. best fix. If you can catch the dog as it starts to slow down Another problem that can crop up is dogs wanting to on the recall and instead make it come to you faster, it can’t self-hunt once they’ve found a few birds and excitement stop and rip up your bird. escalates. That is, they want to go off in their own direction, The dog that won’t let go needs to learn that it has no and you are welcome to follow them if you can keep up. choice. If the dog is on your left, run your left hand down Again, if you’ve done your homework during the off-season the dog’s left shoulder and back to the flank area. Grab the and your dog understands the e-collar cues, it doesn’t take flap of skin where the hind leg attaches to the belly, and lift too much to get the dog “going with you” again. the dog’s hindquarters by that skin. Your dog will drop the often, this can be headed off altogether by following bird, mainly because it wants to bite whatever just pinched the same routine at your hunting spot that you do at home its skin, so watch your hand. during training. For us, it’s the chain gang while we’re Most of the mid-season problems are easily fixed by getting our gear on, then a short walk on the lead to make giving your dog gentle reminders and holding it accountable sure the dog is paying attention and acknowledging us for the level of training you’ve done. Don’t let little things rather than pulling ahead and being distracted. A couple slide because you’re in a hurry, since little infractions can of minutes of “pay attention to me” time at the start can become big ones in a heartbeat. Keep your standards high save you a lot of frustration as the day goes on. Allowing and expect no less from your dog.

1 . Your Report should be typed (double or triple-spaced) on regular size paper (8 ½ x 11) allowing at least 1” margins on either side. Condense the wording to not more than 3 typed pages or you’ll be edited. (See Details on Magazine Policy AB-February, 1977). Remember the fewer words can result in more pictures. 2 . Your chief concern is to report your club’s trial so effectively that anyone not present can visualize what went on. Particularly stress dog action. The work of four-footed characters takes precedence over the antics of two-legged people. 3. First Paragraph—Cover such details as where and when, weather, and what not. Anything out of the ordinary? This is where you can use some imaginative writing if you wish (see p.44 of AB – April ’77 Ozark trial). 4. Report on the winning dogs’ work in each stake, taking up one stake at a time. Even if you did follow it all yourself, riding in the gallery, it is best to get the “official” interpretation from the judges. Generally, judges take notes and can answer a reporter’s questions later at the conclusion of the stake. You may wish to condense or even eliminate what the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-placed dogs did (all contained in summary anyhow). But if the judges mentioned any others deserving “honorable mention”… include their names. Sometimes just a mention is a matter of life or death. An owner may be wavering about continuing to campaign. 5. Concluding Paragraph—Work in the whatever “bouquets” should be thrown to the people responsible for the smooth running of the trial, but don’t go overboard. Generally, umbrella phrases are better than naming names. No hurt feelings if you inadvertently miss someone. The AB Magazine is being read by Brittany owners throughout the country, many of whom may never have been to a trial. If your report piques interest to attend next time, you’ve done a good public relations job for your Club. Your report may activate a potentially good member! 6. Stop—when you’ve said it all. When you’ve spelled out what the dogs did. Some photos (line-up of winners) mean more to most people than mere words. So deputize the photography assignment to a fellow Club member who can be depended on to get those photos. And…Good Luck!!!
