Sometimes it helps to actually see pieces of the training
    process.  Check out some of the videos below to view the
    training process in action.  More videos will be added as
    footage becomes available.

    8 week old Australian Cattle Dog puppy who has never been stacked
    before:









    6 week old Dachshund puppies learning to stack on the table:









    Young Flat Coated Retriever getting clicked for moving her front feet.  
    The end behavior will be for her to be able to walk herself into a show
    stack.  We start with shaping the front feet to the proper position then
    putting that on cue.  We will do the same with the rear feet.  The
    chairs have been placed around her to encourage movement of the
    front feet without prompting from the owner.  The chairs help her to
    move only her front feet forward and back.









    The same Flat Coated Retriever now placing her front feet on cue.  








    A young male boxer learning to hold his tail up.  Initially, he is clicked
    for any tail movement and we shaped it to pushing it up on cue.











    A Dachshund puppy learning to stack and hold a short stay on the
    table.











    This is video of a 15 week old Dachshund puppy having her first show
    lead clicker training session.  She is getting clicked for moving on the
    lead.  The only criteria is that she move not "how" she move.  That will
    be trained in later.  










    This is video of a 15 week old Dachshund puppy being clicked and
    treating for standing.  She is just learning to stand.










    Many people have a hard time reading and understanding canine
    body language.  For this reason, some videos are included of dogs
    that feel comfortable and not so comfortable in the ring.  

    This is a dog that is very comfortable in the show ring.  Note the
    relaxed tail (even while being examine), loose, relaxed, happy
    movement.











    This is video of a little dog that is not so comfortable being examined.  
    She was fearful of the judge and stressed at being separated from her
    owner.  The video is kind of grainy, but you can get the idea.  More
    "uncomfortable" show dog videos will be added soon.









    This is the same dog being shown after being desensitized and
    counterconditioned to being shown and examined.  Her dedicated
    owner did the training and then decided to handle her herself.  Note
    that in this video she is taking food, allowing the exam and her tail is
    not wrapped under.
