Paw Targeting - how to teach tricks dog training clicker training
This video is a how to video on how to teach your dog to target an object with his front paws. This is not only a great game to teach your puppy or dog how to learn to learn, but it is the foundation for many behaviors and tricks. Tricks with this foundation include- wave, shake , high five, standing up, hands up, close the door, cop cop, say your prayers, descrimination, freestyle foot work and more.
Take care with large breed dogs or dogs who have sharp toe nails as you can get slapped. Perhaps teach shake down the line when you have more experience as a trainer so that your large dog doesnt learn to paw at you as their favorite behavior. The great thing about the technique that I am using is that the dog isnt learning to paw at your skin, but at an object, so you can get that on stimulus control before it is just your arm (for very large and powerful dog breeds). You can also click them fore being gentle before you switch to using just your hand for shake.

Introducing my new puppy! He is a 4 1/2 month old terrier/chi mix. I picked him up yesterday and this footage is of me going to fetch him and Kiko and Splash’s reaction to him. Sometimes Kiko doesn’t like to play with young puppies, so I was very happy and excited that the puppy was a big hit with my two other dogs! We have been having a blast since he’s been here!
At 14wks, German Shepherd puppy, Cooper, needs to practice basic obedience in all conditions. This is his first time seeing snow. He has learned a lot in the past 3 weeks. We worked on his basic commands of: come, sit, down, stay, talk (1 bark), tell me (2+ barks).
This is a video of Splash’s first lessons at a walking handstand. I was so inspired by Heather and Jesse’s most amazing walking handstand that I thought I would give it a try with Splash. However, no dog can do it cuter than Jesse on JustJesse197 ’s youtube channel

Fred long hair german shepperd has a story. He’s telling us his story through images in his dog training sessions.
Here is Splash and I improvising to the music of Avatar. We will be using this song for one of our routines. I am all over the place right now, so I thought posting this would give me a kick to get the routine down soon. I have gotten a bunch of ideas from just editing a couple days of practice sessions together. 
This is another cool Dogmantics Dog Training Tip on how to teach your dog to walk next to you on a loose leash. 
This is a quick how to video I made for a youtube user who said they were having trouble getting rid of the lure. I hope to make a more in depth video on this subject. As well as how to ween off of treats as well. But for now here is my Dog training tip of the day. I created the video immediately after having the idea to make it, so I used my own dogs, it would have been great to have used a puppy. I encourage other dog trainers out there to make How to videos on how to fade a lure when training with food, because it is information that is very important to stop training enthusiasts from getting stuck down the road 
In no way do I condone pestering a dog in order to make them offer calming signals for you to see. I kissed Kiko on the head in this video to show you something that dogs HATE that is often done to them, not that I want to condone it! ☺
This is my dog training tip of the day for today. It is a continuation of the last tip. In this video you will learn how to add a verbal cue to a behavior that you taught with a hand signal.
