Together with my son, Damian, and our wayward hound, Brody, we will show you the basics of clicker training to start you off on your basic dog training journey from home. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I've learned a lot over the 3 years we have had Brody about working with a rescue and teaching a wilful, high-energy dog basic skills and tricks. We will start off introducing ourselves and Brody, and sharing the story about his adoption, his fears and issues when he first arrived in our home and the journey he has been on. I will then explain how the clicker is used, why it has been the most effective method of training for Brody, and demonstrate him learning a new skill using the clicker. I've used it to teach him to strum a guitar, take Damian's socks off and attempt to turn the lights on and off. There will be time to ask questions, introduce your own dogs and share your own stories. If there is something you'd like me to try and teach Brody during the class, I'm more than open to suggestions, challenges and lots of laughs as we attempt them together. Just in advance: Brody is not interested in playing with a ball, so "go fetch" is still our biggest lesson we are working on.
