Training 101 - Teach your dog to target your hand for fun and obedience

Use targeting to guide your dog, call your dog back to you, teach tricks, and just have fun!

Course Summary

Teaching your dog to target your hand and with their nose is great for keeping your dogs attention around distractions, and building more advanced behaviors later. Once your dog knows how to target your hand, you can use your hand to guide your dog, keep your dog's attention focused on you, or do fun things like traverse park benches and homemade obstacle courses. Hand targets make great recall signals, too!
