Video 1: Step by Step Guide to Hand Target Training
A dog really understanding how to Hand Target is the best-kept dog training secret everyone needs to know! Hand Targets are brilliant for transferring value to you, connection, relationship building, drive and motivation, gauging your dog's emotional state, and working through high distractions. Plus, they are a building block for many other amazing behaviors. Training a Hand Target is an excellent way for us humans to develop exceptional dog training mechanics. These mechanics are the quick path for you to rise above the pack and will make training anything faster.
Video 2: Hand Touch for RZ Set Up
Not only is a Hand Target fun to train, but it's also incredibly versatile. Use a hand touch to guide your dog into Reinforcement Zone (RZ) - a special area by your side where your dog loves to be. A hand touch is an excellent way to set your dog up at the start line for agility or other sports, seamlessly guide them to your side, kickstart any exercise, or effortlessly switch sides during walks. Master this skill, and you'll have a go-to method for getting your dog exactly where you want them, making training sessions smoother and daily life easier.
