Syllabus
This course has several lessons, each with a progress exam and most with supplemental learning materials, such as videos, illustrations, and/or downloadables.
This module outlines the benefits of trick training, the history of dog training generally, as well as the benefits of using reward-based and clicker training techniques.
Trick training requires more than just a few simple commands and a willing pup. This lesson covers the importance of a training foundation, what tools you need, and how to prepare.
Having covered the basics of trick training and the techniques for sit, stay, heel, and more, this module covers three specific tricks – “shake”, “speak” and “touch”.
In this final lesson, we introduce the commands and techniques for teaching “roll over”, “sit pretty” and “spin”. While the previous tricks were more stationary, these three involve movement.
This module provides a review of the previous four lessons and re-visits key points about the tools and techniques of trick training.
