* Come and enjoy our hands on dog training weekend. This camp will open your dog to the world of offering behaviors, an "operant dog" is a delightful dog!
* You will learn how to teach your dog to think and problem solve, as you shape successive approximations of the final behavior you are working toward. This weekend you will be creating an exceptionally cleaver dog to live with!
* You will learn and practice Shaping skills, after that the sky's the limit with what the two of you can do!
* Camp out at our training center, or go rustic on our 30 acre farm, your choice. You can woof out to a local motel if you wish, but "Roughing It" with best pals and new friends is the ideal weekend in my estimation. Come share a weekend retreat with us around the campfire!
* Best of all, you will meet new like minded Positive Dog Training people, to share your successes with in the future!
3-Day Camp

3-Day Camp Including Accommodations

Shaping:
1.) A process in which a selected behavior is obtained by differentially reinforcing successive approximations of it; 2.) Breaking down the training objective or target into more manageable and easily learned parts
Haven't we all dreamed of a weekend retreat with our dog in the companionship of like minded individuals?
If so, here is your opportunity to spend three days enjoying the companionship of your dog while at the same time you will both be learning a new skill of shaping behaviors.
Your dog will begin to offer behaviors more freely, while you perfect your shaping skills.
All of this will happen with the companionship of other positive dog trainers.
What? You are not a trainer? Doesn't matter, come one come all, and we will all bring something to the plan.
This Shaping Camp has been created and conducted by Certified Trainer/author Kat Rollins and has been purposely designed for the novice-to-experienced shaper with plenty of opportunity and encouragement to pursue your own training goals.
We will practice basic and free shaping exercises; targeting, work on those important good manners behaviors, play with tricks, and start retrieve sequences.
You will learn how to shape your dog to perform behaviors such as go to his place, put his toys away, crawl,
and others as requested.
