#targettraining

I was teaching Cad the start of leg weaves this morning, as a friend had convinced me that would be cool and I figured it would help his unbalanced lateral flexion. But after a couple of minutes he asked to do some more of this instead. If Cad asks to do different training I always like to go along with him if possible, as I find it results in better engagement, and through that, improved learning. We need 'middle' as his starting position for active retrieve #scentwork, but Cadvan has HUGE anxiety regarding wanting to be able to look at me head on during training at all times. When I first homed him he didn't want to engage with choice-based leaning at all, and this is one of our last hangups from that. Staring at a washer on the floor for #scentforsix for several months has helped, but it's still anxiety-inducing for him. So I've been sloooowly teaching this independently for a few weeks now. Started with capturing outside in the garden, then moving to nose target with a hand cue he already knows from #dogparkour. That was only partially successful though as he kept targeting my hand from in front of me, even when I tried to manipulate the environmental setup to make doing so difficult 😂 The other day I introduced a side target (his right ribs to my right leg) in addition to the nose target, and that's really helped him nail the position. Today, with his request that we work on this, I straightened up a little, and also added the vocal cue. Very pleased to see in the replay how waggy his tail is. #dogtraining #clickertraining #positivereinforcementtraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #forcefreetraining #rewardbasedtraining #choicebasedtraining #trickdog #targettraining #scentworktraining #nosework #schoolofcaninescience #sportsdog #dogsports #nonstopdogwear https://www.instagram.com/p/CCn7LuwlivZ/?igshid=dvwcbdagh63q

Train your dog to touch your hand

A telescoping flag pole is a wonderful way to make a great portable target stick! Now, if only I’d remembered to get a ball to put on the tip; I had to settle for my Kong keychain on short notice 😂 #kong #dog #toy #training #enrichment #behavior #targettraining #rainydayfun #dogtraining

Bishi the Quaker is doing target training. The family felines are sold on it just from watching the bird! They have all insisted on doing their own target training once he was done.

Sam a, if I heard correctly, 24 year old giraffe getting a mani/ pedi today at @blankparkzoo . I loved watching and seeing the keepers work with such amazing animals. Maybe one day I'll get to help out...some day... #giraffe #targettraining #positivereinforcement #zoo #wildlife #iowaswildestadventure #desmoines #iowa #desmoinesiowa #ia #dothezoo #blankparkzoo (at Blank Park Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByWSMMVAj0F/?igshid=1qt9mw92t2c6a

Just doing my civic duty. 😊 #dogsofinstagram #mixedbreedsofinstagram #beardedcolliemix #dogtraining #targettraining #tricktraining #tricks #dogtricks #Repost @enlightenedhounds with @get_repost ・・・ Training Tip Thursday is here again! Let’s talk about how to make tricks useful. Targeting is one of the best tricks to turn into useful skills. When we teach targeting we teach our dogs to hit an object with their paw or nose on cue. Once the cue is well understood, we can start applying it to lots of different objects. Using targeting you can teach your dog to close doors/drawers, push around a laundry basket, or even open a door for you! Vixen loves opening the door when we go shopping. What are some practical applications of tricks you have taught your dogs? https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cp034HHBm/?igshid=2pwnfiin1aej

Come on! It doesn’t get much cuter than a screaming hairy armadillo tip toeing across a stage to a target. I’d much rather see armadillos like this in education programs, rather than curled up in a ball in someone’s hands. Curled up means defensive or frightened as opposed to confident and empowered like this gal here (thanks to training with positive reinforcement.)What a different message it sends when the animal is an engaged, active, voluntary participant. #screaminghairyarmadillo #armadillo #zooanimals #zooanimaltraining #positivereinforcement #animalambassador #targettraining #peanutbutter (at Orange County Zoo)
