SHAPING - Clicker Training With A Box

Here I am using the concept called 'shaping'. Instead of luring Poppy into a certain position, I click small steps towards a final behaviour. This is a great method for teaching your dog to think for herself. Here I want her to push the box, a behaviour I have never asked for. I start by clicking whenever she looks at the box, and then when she touches it, and finally when she moves it. This was her first time training this way, so she spent a lot of time looking at me for instruction! I concentrated on looking at the box, and occasionally bringing her attention to it. Play, train, and bond with your dog!
