Finish Forward Dogs: February 2011
http://finishforwarddogs.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 17, 2011. I've been innundated lately with calls and emails from clients facing aggression in their dogs. Listening to each dog's recent history, I hear the all too familiar pattern of behavior unravel and feel for the owners as they describe accounts where their dogs have bitten house guests, attacked other animals in the home or threatened the safety and well being of their devoted families.

Finish Forward Dogs: Visual Match to Sample: Progress!

Monday, February 7, 2011. Visual Match to Sample: Progress! It's been almost a week since I introduced Maverick to his new trick - Visual Match to Sample. Today we progressed from indicating the correct object on cue (me pointing to an item and him targeting that item with his nose) to actually making directed matches out of a sample of one. 1 I started by holding up the 'match' item and marking him (Click/Reward) as he looked at the item held in my hand.

Finish Forward Dogs: Snowy days call for trick training
http://finishforwarddogs.blogspot.com/2011/02/snowy-days-call-for-trick-training.html
Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Snowy days call for trick training. Today was day one of this trick: Teaching a Visual Match to Sample - watch the video here: http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? 1 Maverick has a strong 'place' (or mat) behavior, so we spent a few repetitions just refreshing that particular behavior (clicking and rewarding for backing up and sitting on the mat, especially between reps).
