3 Ways to Use Targets in Dog Training

One tool that I use and find most powerful in training is the use of targets. I use it in all of my dog training. One of the most common behaviours you'll see is the use of targets, where you send a dog out and they get on a boundary of some sort. It's very, very helpful for clarity, self-control, and directional training. If you're not currently using targets in your training, I highly encourage you to do so. In this video, I'm going to teach 3 ways you can use targets in training and I’ll focus specifically on touch targeting. Instead of the dog, going out to sit on a target for a boundary - a physical boundary, your dog is going to learn to go out and touch something with their nose. My black lab, Koal will demonstrate how physical and mental energy burnoff can be a rewarding experience! Behaviour shaping through target training creates a thinking dog.
