FDSA Presents (fee applies): In this webinar we’ll look at when to “Take It!” (or “Get It!”) and when to “Leave It!” The concept and the verbal cues will be built through fun and simple games. Not surprisingly, clean mechanics are the key! We’ll train both cues without causing frustration or confusion. There will be simple step-by-step instructions. You can follow the steps at home in a very small space, with no special equipment. Then we’ll take the concepts outdoors into the big spaces of the real world.
FDSA Presents (fee applies): Choosing between shaping, capturing, luring, prompting, or modeling can be daunting. We know where we want to go, we just need to figure out how to get there!
