NePoPo ®️ Dopamine Klack Klack board
The Klack Klack is a target board that can be used in different ways.
🔹as a send away target
🔹as a position board target
🔹as a “clicker”
🔹as a target to teach muzzle targeting
🔹for sound desensitization
For whichever reason that it’s used, there has to be an initial learning phase.
In my opinion the best way to first introduce it to a dog is as a “clicker”, that the dog controls.
The dog clicking the Klack Klack makes you produce the reward.
The advantage to this is that it empowers the dog and puts it in control.
Later, if you want to train something that requires stability, you can teach the dog to go and stand on the Klack Klack.

I do this every year during fireworks, although Kaan doesn’t need it anymore.
Doing NePoPo®️ box feeding is one way to strengthen a dog to environmental stressors, including noise, touch, people, places.

Using the Klack Klack in the box
Empty box = head in
Klack Klack in box = feet in
By putting the Klack Klack in the box I want my dog to now put his feet in, instead of his head.
The reason for using it this way is so that I have a guide for his front legs to teach the front, left heel, right heel, pivoting with the back legs and it keeps his front legs in the correct position. When using the Klack Klack alone, or some other target, dogs will sometimes move their legs off the target which you have to fix.
Also with their feet in the box it keeps them from sitting.
You can see Kaan is a little confused in the beginning because there are two competing signals.

Teaching the heel position with pressure and reward
When teaching the heel position with luring, or leash pressure, it is good to reward at the back of the motion so that the dog wants to complete the whole motion instead of taking a short cut.
Anticipation is the key because it lets you know the dog is starting to understand. As the dog understands and gets faster, you can begin to release the pressure before the end of the behavior. As the dog understands, the pressure will become a tap and at that point we can add the verbal command.

When you have a dog that tries to figure out solutions to problems, he is a dog that has ignition and will try to find his advantage.
There is value for Kaan in sticking his head in the box, and instead of waiting for me to help, by turning over the box, he will activate me by finding a way to get his head in the box.
Having a dog that tries to always find his advantage is a “knife that cuts both ways” as BART would say.

Tactile Pressure - Ripley 2 years later
If you saw the other video this is a follow up to that one.
Haven’t done this with her for awhile.
The tactile pressure has now become a tactile command, and a tactile correction.
At this point you could add the verbal command, classically.(you can see her verbal commands at the end)
You can also add electronic stim, as a reinforcer of the command, using the contact method.

Tactile Pressure
Tactile Pressure
Tactile pressure is an important part of training, especially with a puppy.
In NePoPo®️, this exercise is the beginning of teaching a dog how to handle pressure.
This is not necessarily about teaching the sit/down/stand, rather it teaches the dog;
🔸to be comfortable with pressure
🔸to handle being touched
🔸pressure stops with activity
🔸pressure leads to reward
Later this same pressure will become a tap that is a command.
This is an old video with Ripley to demonstrate.

The purpose of our tools are for clear communication, and there are many ways to use those tools.
In my opinion this is the best way to use this tool so that the dog understands what we are trying to teach.

First introduction to NePoPo®️ dopamine box.
This is her first time seeing the box. She is curious and has high food drive because she had to endure an extended period of time without food before we got her.

Here is the new Dobe girl.
Here is the new Dobe girl from DRNV. Don’t have an official name yet. Waiting to see her personality.
She should already have an adopter but they don’t always go through so if you are interested contact DRNV.
Right now she is wary of everything and timid, but we will work on that.

TACTILE COMMUNICATON
The most important communication for a Dog, other than its nose maybe.
What a dog feels overrides any other sensation it is receiving, and it understands it very well.
With touch you can pet your dog, you can give direction to your dog, you can punish your dog, you can use it to make your dog go.
By starting out puppies, or any dog, with tactile pressure, we can teach them what that pressure means, how to control it, what to do when they feel it, and most importantly, that it leads to what they want.
Tactile pressure can start out as NePoPo or NePo, can become an activator, and later, if that is what you need, a cue.
