Special Classes
Click-A-Trick Class
During this class you will learn about the
science of clicker training and how it offers precision when teaching
tricks.
We will also cover how to
use luring, a clicker and target stick effectively, shaping tricks and
behaviors, capturing tricks and back-chaining (putting several tricks
together). Learning tricks teaches a dog how to think and gives them an
overall awareness of their bodies. This knowledge can really help to make
them excel in other dog sports. Be prepared to laugh, have fun and bond
with your dog!
FIRST CLASS: Please NO DOGS for the first class; we will be working on
training technique. Please bring your clicker if you have one.
