Why your First Driving Lesson is NOT on the M25

30/12/2018

The M25 is a manically busy motorway, with lots of traffic. This would NOT be a good place to have your first driving lesson!
​

You need to learn somewhere quiet to practice changing gear, using the brake and accelerator, before you could put all these behaviours together when your instructor takes you on a main road, let alone a busy motorway.

With dogs, we need to set them up for success to practice and replicate new behaviours anywhere, no matter what might be happening. Quiet, distraction free locations help them make new behaviours happen. Following a professional training plan should see good progression as your dog learns to do the new behaviours across many different environments.

To minimise potential triggers, we need to teach our dog that there is a positive outcome to being in a wide range of environments. Sometimes an unexpected off-lead dog or a person appearing out of nowhere can derail your training. So, make sure you and your trainer have a strategy for these situations to get you and your dog out of there safely.

Otherwise, as Sarah Whitehead says, ‘it’s like taking a learner driver onto the M25 after just a couple of lessons and expecting them to act like an experienced driver’.
