$250 Working Participants - Both Days with Your Dog (limited - 30):
Put your training skills to the test with a full weekend of training for you and your clicker-savvy dog! You will be paired with another handler/dog team during training exercises on cueing and discrimination. You and your training partner(s) will take turns working your dogs and being a lab assistant. As the lab assistant, you will help set-up the training environment, record data and helping to reevaluate the training plan after each session. There will be multiple training sessions each day.
Requirements: Dogs that participate MUST be able to target multiple items and free shape. A participating dog should be able to play “101 Things To Do With A Box” or another similar shaping game that requires the dog to offer behaviors when confronted with a novel item. Dogs of all ages welcome. Must attend for both days.
