Description: Engagement, Toy and Personal Play
The emphasis in this seminar will be 1) helping dogs become comfortable in new spaces via acclimation, 2) giving dogs the freedom to ask to work and 3) asking for increasingly more of our dogs (eye contact, personal play, and finally, work) before a classic reward such as toys or food show up. The end goal of engagement training is a dog that is extremely comfortable in a working space, and who drives the handler to create interaction and work. We will also work on excellent toy and personal play: building toy drive in softer dogs or dogs that show limited interest, and building control in stronger teams. The personal play portion introduces different ways to play with a dog that does not involve food or toys. This seminar includes lecture, a PowerPoint presentation, and working time.

$200 for a working spot (10 max), $75 to audit (35 max). If the seminar is sold out, please contact Kristin at kherrera@MarinHumane.org to be put on the wait list.
