Charging the Clicker: Clickers are a type of marker that help us communicate with our dogs during training. The sound of the click lets the dog know that the behavior they are offering is what we want, and that a reinforcer (reward) is coming. We also call a clicker a bridging stimuli, because it “bridges” the gap between when the behavior is offered and when the reinforcement comes, allowing us mark the exact moment a behavior is happening, and still reward it afterwards. The clicker says “yes, that’s right!” and “here comes a reward!” Data shows that dogs learn significantly faster when trained using a clicker as opposed to though rewards alone.
We use games and exercises to prevent problem behavior from developing!

Your dog’s nose is their superpower!
“Your dog’s nose is their superpower! Teach your dog how to use their nose for fun and enrichment. This class is appropriate for most dogs such as very young dogs who need extra things to do, older dogs who are aging out of sports, dogs who need a boost of confidence and everyone in between! If you are curious about nose sports this is the place to start. This class will set you up with the foundations for scent detection by teaching your dog to search, problem solve and learn what their individual “alerts” look like. There will be some downtime when other dogs are searching so bring a “project” for your dog to sniff, lick or chew if they need help settling down during these times.”
