Handlers were provided with the following:
a clear perspex target
a clicker
a soft clicker
a loud
clicker
a food pouch
course notes
|
On Saturday morning the handlers had an interactive refresher session on clicker
training, with a few interecting practicals to illustrate the principles.
Exercises included conditioning their dogs to the clicker, & targeting.
A couple
of fun games were added too!
The final
practical exercise was to use what they had been taught to get each of their own
dogs into a box, in a sitting position, and on cue.
This was highly successful!
The group was
then divided into two, separating those doing obedience from those doing
agility.
The obedience session was taken by Nadine, and the agility by Rory.
