THE MAGIC OF SHAPING by Pamela Dennison £32.00 2 DVD Set, running time 4 hours. Shaping is incredibly fun to teach; however, sometimes the mechanics of getting started may be daunting. While completing a behavior is very exciting, the real thrill is the process itself. From the first glimmer of understanding to the light bulb fully on, each step is a joy to behold. With shaping, your timing and creativity will improve, you will become better at recognizing small approximations and learn how and when to raise criteria--or when not to raise criteria, when to try something different, end a particular session and when to keep going. You and your dog will become a more close-knit team while pursuing these fun and functional behaviors. User friendly instructions are demonstrated with "real" dogs and their handlers, showing the process of working through 21+ versatile behaviors including: *Wipe your feet/Grind toenails/Go around objects/Weave Poles/Nose target hand/Heeling/Muzzle training/Close a door *Go Outs/Ride skateboard/Say your prayers/Go to crate Many of them are useful for a multitude of different behaviors.
