Annie On Dogs

The retrieve is one of the most difficult skills for most dogs to master in competitive obedience. It is difficult because it involves a series of steps that the dog must learn in order to retrieve the object and get high scores. More and more trainers are realizing that teaching a complex series of behaviors like this is most easily done through the use of clicker training—using the same techniques used by large animal trainers working with whales, dolphins—even elephants.The Clicked Retriever teaches you step-by-step how to clicker train your dog to do a solid, enthusiastic and reliable retrieve. Learning no-force techniques builds trust between you and your dog, makes training more enjoyable for both of you, and sets you up for life long training success built on scientific principles, respect and fun.
