In this 6-week class, Liza Rader will show you how to build a confident, cooperative retrieve using positive reinforcement. Whether you’re interested in dog sports, service dog tasks, cute tricks, or fun games that won’t lead to over-arousal or obsessive behaviors, this class will help you teach a retrieve that’s reliable, flexible, and deeply rewarding—for both you and your dog. Traditional retrieving is often taught using force or discomfort. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With video demos, thoughtful instruction, and real-time coaching, Liza will guide you through a gentle, effective step-by-step process for teaching your dog to bring back thrown, hidden, or dropped items using thoughtful, positive training. You will learn how retrieving games offer your dog the thrill of the chase, with little wear and tear on their body and fewer unwanted side effects like barking or guarding that come along with traditional retrieve training. They're also a powerful way to meet your dog’s physical and mental needs without over-arousal. Excel students will receive all of the above plus real-time coaching during Zoom calls, video reviews with personalized feedback, and unlimited Q&A throughout the course.
