Shaping is fun to teach, and useful for a multitude of different behaviors. While completing a behavior is exciting, the real thrill is the process itself. From the first glimmer of understanding to the full comprehension, each step is a joy. You and your dog will become a more closely knit team. Your timing and creativity will improve. You will learn when to keep trying, when to end a session, and when to raise the criteria. User-friendly instructions, demonstrated with "real" dogs and their handlers, show the process of working through 21 versatile behaviors including:
Wipe your feet
Go around objects
Nose target a hand or an object
Ride a skateboard
Retrieve
Bow
Weave poles
Go outs
Say your prayers, and more!
With shaping, you let the dog find the behavior, then reward it. Dogs learn how to learn, and, as a result, their capacity to comprehend and execute behaviors in any activity improves. You can use shaping for agility, rally, freestyle, obedience, for teaching tricks or modifying behavior. The two-part menu-driven dvd set covers Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced techniques. Order today and start your dog on the road to an exciting new training experience!
