Course Details
What if there was a way that your dog could perform a behavior correctly, from the very first repetition? Imagine not having to mess around with luring the dog into the perfect spot. Think of how fast your dog would learn the behavior!
I have news for you. You can! By using props, you can set your dog up for success right from the start. No changing criteria later as you try to fade your body prompts. Show your dog the correct picture from the very beginning!
Props are also extremely useful as you start to add challenges to your behaviors, like distractions or carrying things. The prop will allow you to break down the behavior so you can concentrate on just the new challenge without worrying about your base behavior falling apart.
But the first step is to teach your dog how to use the prop and what the default position on each should be! Pivot bowls are for pivoting in a stand. Sit platforms are for sitting, while full body platforms are for standing. Foot targets are for stillness of feet, not pivoting and dancing!
