Wednesday Night KDTC Class: Report on what you want from class

Behaviors Listed By Two People: Fronts, Stand, Watch/Attention, Calming, Clean Up Toys

Behaviors Listed By One Person: Sits and Downs, Heeling, Finishes, Retreiving, Targeting, Zen, Dog to Dog, Twirl, Paw Cross, Speak, Play Dead, Roll Over.

Goals and comments about other behaviors to include:
4 paws on floor; start comp obedience/rally; use up energy; mainly dog to dog interactions; pay attention to me and not distractions; clicker skills for rally and agility

So I organized these into three tracks, noting some basics that got mentioned that might be needed for some of the more complex behaviors. So I added a fourth track for key basics.

“Good” dog behaviors: calming when excited, dog to dog interactions (watch and zen are basics)

Dog sports and competition: Heeling, fronts, finishes, stand, retrieve, (watch and targeting are basics)

Tricks: clean up toys (retrieve as basic); twirl (targeting as basics); paw cross, speak, play dead, rollover (targeting as basic on last two)

Key basics: watch, targeting, and zen.

So we will focus on these behaviors and use them as we help hone your overall clicker skill.
