Tug More Learn More
Bring popular British dog trainer and ClickerExpo faculty member Kay Laurence into your own living room with the Tug More Learn More DVD and book. Tug play is a popular and wonderful form of training when it is used safely and in balance with your dog. Tug games improve fitness for both you and your dog, are very reinforcing, and provide wonderful structure to the dog's learning.
Tug playing, or shared holding, is a natural behavior that develops between friends. The game is about balance, mirroring movement, and learning together, all wrapped in a very effective workout. You thought you knew how to play tug with your dog, but do you know how to
•Keep the game going with a quitter
•Stop/start/stop the game with an overeager player
•Use tug to teach your dog dance moves
•Use tug to teach your dog to study and follow your body language
•Avoid hurting your dog's joints or back accidentally
•Fit the tug toy to your dog's jaw size and bite style
•Turn this big-time reinforcer into a big-time shaping tool too
Kay Laurence is here again with some brilliant innovative training ideas as well as short, simple (but profound) instructions, and the video clips to show you just the right way.
