Your guide to the intricate process of shaping, from the initial spark of an idea to the polished performance of your shaped behaviors. ✨
We’ll do this through a list of behaviours for you to pick from BUT we’ll also work some pre-approved basic behaviours you may be a little stuck on.
We’ll cover basic foundation skills: mechanics, how and where to reward, choosing the right equipment and setting the scene. We’ll play timing games for the handler, and learn how important even the simplest training plan is to get you to the first click. We’ll look at the delicate balance of knowing when to advance to the next step, when to backtrack or change direction, and when to add the all-important cue. Think of shaping as a dance of communication between you and your canine companion, where timing and intuition blend seamlessly to create pure connection and understanding.
Shaping isn’t just about reaching the end goal—it’s also about the journey itself. Along the way, you’ll learn to trust your instincts, adapt to challenges, and embrace the dynamic nature of shaping by emphasizing the importance of timing, intuition, and being flexible in your training plan.
