Expanding Your Dog's Foundation Skills

Building strong foundation behaviors is an investment that will demonstrate value throughout your dog's training. In this video, KPA CTP Jenny Efimova is using targeting to shape the behavior of going around a cone. She says, "Each time we try a new fitness exercise, I'm struck by how the basics always come through. Touching the nose to a stationary target and following a target are two

fluent behaviors for Larkin—ones I've now applied

in a myriad of situations. Building strong foundation behaviors matters!"

Make Training Much Easier—and Fun—with Targets
Earlier in this newsletter, KPA CTP Jenny Efimova demonstrated how her dog Larkin follows a target. Karen Pryor Clicker Training offers two target sticks that are must-haves for training animals! The buoy target stick with a handle is great for working with large dogs or horses. The lollipop target stick is a bit smaller and works well in teaching dogs all kinds of fun tricks!
