All of You Shapers Out There!

Tobi, check this out for a better understanding.. although this is figure eight work, you can see where he reinforces to behaviors.

This is new to me so I will have to read more about it but I did want to say, your paint skills are fine. I love your paint doggeh! lol

[pandaparade]

Serenity, do indeed read more into it.. I switched from lure to shaping after I saw a big change in my dog's success level with it. You will love it, shaping sets the dog up for success always which makes it so much easier since the dog will start offering behaviros more often.

Gonna give this a whirl with Indi. Indi is my only dog I've done real shaping with, sadly. :[ I don't have cones...mind if I use something else? What would you suggest?

[pandaparade]

pots, or buckets?

I've been doing nearly all shaping for the past 6ish months. BIG difference.

My boss has been out of town for the second part of this past week, and with 11 hours of not much to do but answer phones....this is what happens LOL:



I will do this challenge though! Not sure how I'm going to get it in video since ours was packed and there's no one here to film it for me
