Expanded Description:
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.

| Excellent and Easy, October 7, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Leann Harris |
| I am a behavior junkie and always want to improve my shaping skills. I got this video hoping it would teach me something I don't already know and was not dissapointed. Everything is broken down into tiny steps (just like any good shaper) and even if you've never done shaping before you could be well on your way with this video alone. I thought this video was fantastic and gave me LOTS of ideas for creative things to work on with my dogs- something I'm always looking for. This is a must have for any trainer!! |

| Reviewer: Sara Scott |
| I have a hard time sitting through DVDs more than once. I saw this at a friend's house and knew it was something I must have in my collection. Ms. Dennison not only shows a variety of useful tasks, she shows you how to break any task down into micro steps and how to work through the challenges. I love her attitude, the simplicity, and watching the students struggle, improve their technique, and succeed. Her teaching style also inspires me as to how to conduct a class efficiently. |

| Good viewing, February 13, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Mary Ann Denommee |
| Loved the simplicity and the great way she dilivers her information. I live in a very remote area and do not have access to any type of live interaction to learn from, be it obedience, tracking, agility...... Therefore I am left with videos and book to learn. I have a very big thirst to learn as much as I can to understand and teach dogs. I was pleasantly surprised and love this video. I hope that there will be others similar to The magic of shaping, by Pamela Dennison |

| There is everything to like about this dvd! Pam Dennison's friendly and positive style is indeed magical. Firstly, she makes it very easy to get started. She shows you how to succeed. With a variety of different and fun behaviors to work on, graded from easy to advanced, the 2 dvd set is great value. I highly recommend! |
