5.1 Which Dogs Should Learn This Exercise
This exercise is useful for anyone who wants to train their dog to perform tricks,
train in obedience, agility, service or military work because targeting is handy for
training many behaviors.
In terms of training dogs to be calm in highly distracting situations, targeting is
used in between Down-stay and Down-stay with distraction repetitions (Games 3
and 5) to get dogs off their rug and to add variety to the training. It’s also used in
Game 4 (Place) where dogs are trained to run to a rug on cue.
For cases where owners want to train their dogs to lie down calmly but don’t need
to have the dog run to a location such as a rug or kennel on cue, this game can
be skipped. But that means during the down-stay and down-stay with distraction
games, the dogs must be called off their rug. This is trickier than targeting them
off their rug.
5.2 Overview
In this game, you will use the hand-held target and you’ll train your dog to run
to it and touch it with his nose. Make sure you adjust the target so you can easily
present the target below your dog’s nose level. Generally the target should be fully
extended.
Recommended Practice: Two 15-minute sessions every day.
Practice each step in sets of 5-10 repetitions with breaks in-between.
When Fido gets 9 out of 10 right, you can go to the next step. You can
conveniently practice this exercise in short sets during TV commercials if
you want.
