Still having challenges with creating toy play skills as reinforcement for sport skills?
I’ve got you!
In this webinar I go over common issues that I’m not able to cover in detail in the regular 6 week toy class, along with a couple advanced skills that are from my advanced toy class that I no longer offer.
Check to see if any of these topics intrigue you:
• Chase game-striking cleanly
• Tugging- regripping on toys, clothes
• Tugging-biting you instead of toy
• Feet on the toy during tugging
• Dropping toy early and far away
• Toy on ground challenges, like picking up all the toys!
• Difficulty dropping/outing/delivering toy to hand
• Challenges switching toys in tugging and chase game
• Shaping behaviors within the toy game
• Big.Exciting.Thing.Over.There.
• Breed specific behaviors within the toy game
• Teaching Take a break
This webinar builds on the material from the FDSA 6 week class Toys: Developing Cooperation and Play
I’m super excited to problem solve with you!
About the Instructor:
Shade (she/her) has always been interested in all things dog. She ran a successful dog training business for 20 years before transitioning to online teaching, where she teaches mostly toy and sport skills. She got her first German Shepherd Dog fresh out of college, and is currently raising her 9th puppy. She specializes in highly motivated working lines, channeling their need to move and bite things into more appropriate actions.
In her own words:
I’m passionate about the working/sporting breeds and I want our teaching and communication to be clear. Our dogs have strong opinions, and they often tell us (if we listen) when they understand what we are teaching, or are frustrated. I want “buy in” from my companion, and that allows me to adjust my training plan in the moment, working “with” my dog instead of against them.
