Backing and Pivoting
Course Description: In this course you will work on two distinct behaviors: backing and pivoting. The two are related in that you are teaching the dog to move their back legs in a manner that contributes to more advanced movements. Your dog should be clicker savvy (marker savvy), have good focus, and a willingness to learn.

Training the Retrieve
Course Description: In this course, you will teach your dog a functional retrieve. This step-by-step approach uses positive reinforcement to teach the different components of the retrieve (Take, Lift, Hold, Give, Fetch, and Deliver, etc.) Later in the course, we will look at examples of specific applications.
​
Goal: After the successful completion of this course, students should be able to apply this retrieve skill to elements of Competition Obedience, Service Dog training, Helper Dog training, Trick Dog training, and pet dog training. They should also be able to teach this skill to their students.

Five Unique and Awesome Tricks!
Course Description: Teach your dog Five Unique and Awesome Tricks! This course will equip students with the skills needed to train tricks that range from moderate to challenging difficulty. These Five Unique and Awesome Tricks can be found in many trick dog courses, Freestyle routines, and Rally-Free competitions. Many components of these tricks can serve as foundation behaviors for other canine sports and Service Dog training. Tricks #4 and #5 are more advanced and will take more time to train. Your dog should be at a level of training to support these: they should be clicker savvy (marker savvy), have good focus, and a willingness to learn. For the For Credit option, you will need to send in videos of you and your dog demonstrating each of the five tricks for feedback and assistance from the Instructor.
​
The five tricks are:
1.) Forward and Walkback Weaves
2.) Four Circle Moves Around the Handler
3.) Figure of 8 (without the handler)
4.) Back Around the Handler (challenging)
5.) Turn Back Thru (most challenging)
