Right on "Target": your super useful starting skill
Targeting is not only a fun and easy game to begin teaching, but also a starting point for tons of other behaviors! You can use it for:
- Recall
- Up/off
- Getting your dog to engage with you in new environments
- Confidence building
- Tricks! Leg weave, spin, crawl
- Teaching a heel or getting engagement while working on leash manners
Plus, if you have a treat pouch (or a nearby goody jar) you can teach this using only one hand. Great if you happen to be holding a baby, like I am in this video!
