GET BEHAVIORS YOU WANT FROM YOUR DOG

Exciting offerings here at The Ranch continue!  Did you attend the HANNAH BRANIGAN seminar?  Are you familiar with PLATFORM training?  Well, have we got a GREAT NEW CLASS here at The Dude Ranch Academy!  NOW OFFERING SHAPE UP YOUR OBEDIENCE classes.   This class brings together the platform training concepts introduced by Hannah Branigan and builds your expertise in SHAPING behaviors. WHAT's SHAPING? As you know, you can't reward a behavior that doesn't take place.  Shaping, is the way through successive approximations to mold or 'shape' the desired behavior. Quickly, you'll have the exact behavior you want with your dog, by building step-by-step closer and closer to the final desired target behavior.  Did you ever play the game HOT & COLD as a child?  That's successive approximation - shaping! Learn to apply this concept and technique to perfect your dogs behavior and SHAPE UP YOUR OBEDIENCE!  This exclusive class now offered at The Dude Ranch on Monday evenings.   6-week program and Drop-Ins welcome!
