Description

Ready to learn an incredibly fun, effective way to train your dog to do just about anything? You’ll be amazed at what your dog can learn with this technique. Whether you want to teach your dog to enjoy a crate, go to mat and stay, hold a dumbbell for Competitive Obedience, teach a service dog to open or close a door, a front for Rally, a position for Canine Freestyle, or a fun trick, shaping can get you there! What is Shaping? Shaping is an amazingly effective and wildly fun training technique which not only teaches your dog specific behaviors, but actually teaches him how to learn. Remember the “Hot/Cold” game when you were a child? We use a clicker to play a sophisticated version of this game with dogs. You’ll never forget the first time you witness your dog’s “light bulb moment” during a shaping exercise! Why learn to Shape? *Shaping builds confidence in dogs *Shaping builds observation, timing, and reinforcement skills in the handler—it’ll make you a better trainer *Shaping is great mental stimulation for dogs — a five minute shaping session can tire a dog’s brain as much as a forty-five minute walk tires her body (that’s how it is in our own home!) *Shaping encourages creativity and communication from both parties in the training equation—the handler and the dog *Shaping-savvy dog/handler teams can train very complex behaviors quickly and easily
