Many agility folks have been asking for a clicker training book focused on agility - and finally we have one! Introduces the concept of the Click and Play Pyramid, which helps keep your clicker training on track. The pyramid is made up of five layers. The bottom layer that everything else build on is attention, both the dog giving the handler attention and vice versa. Consistency, the next layer, is critical to the dog's learning process. Consistency leads to the next layer, which is attitude and motivation. Are both you and your dog having fun? Fun can be exciting and excitement can lead to issues with self-control. Self-control is the fourth layer. Both dog and handler self-control are critical to a team's success. The pinnacle of the pyramid is the concept of Win training. Help yourself and your dog be the best agility team you can be!
