- retrieve
- put toys away in basket

- rally and agility behaviors
- and much more!

Why do I want my dog to learn by free shaping? Many
behaviors can certainly be taught through luring,
however, the speed in which dogs learn when they
are experienced "free shapers," is breathtaking!
Free shaping really teaches your dog how to think, problem solve
and be a more active partner in the training process. The even
bigger benefit is that free shaping makes you a better trainer!
Extras! There will be contests and prizes based on skill levels and special
training challenges!
* no aggressive or reactive dogs please!
