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. (*4 CEUs available through Tawzerdog.com with proof of purchase.) (DVD COVERS MAY VARY AND CHANGE)

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 each of these 21+ versatile behaviors:

Wipe your feet Grind toenails Go around objects Weave Poles Nose target hand Heeling Lose target object Muzzle training Close a door Go Outs Ride skateboard Say your prayers Go to crate Teeter Retrieve Chin Cheek Tire Bow Shaping the "real" world ....and more! Many of them are useful for a multitude of different behaviors. From agility to rally and competition obedience, to musical freestyle to animal husbandry, the behaviors in this video will keep you hopping!

This is a two part menu driven DVD set that begins with beginning Shaping to Intermediate shaping. The second DVD covers Advanced shaping techniques.
