The first step in teaching any dog touch pads is to provide a raised target for the dog to run to. Our rubber tubs, when turned upside down, are the perfect target to use. They can be left outside in summer or winter. In our opinion, they are the perfect training aid for the beginning steps of training jumps and the send away.

Marker training (also called clicker training or operant conditioning) is one of the most profound systems of dog training that I have seen in my 50 years of owning, breeding and training working dogs.. In its most basic form, it's a method of communication that is very clear for dogs to understand. Dogs learn the marker language quickly and when they do they thrive in training. The marker system produces dogs that love to train.

This is the first DVD in the "Building Drive and Focus Series with Michael Ellis.” Michael Ellis is a dog training genius. In my 50 years of dog training I have never met anyone like Michael. The foundation of Michael's dog training system lies in marker training. The power of Michael's system lies in how markers are applied within Michaels training program. Unlike trainers who claim they can train every dog with 100% positive motivational methods, we know for a fact that corrections should have a place in any serious dog training program. They are required to guarantee reliability under distractions.

This is another DVD that’s done with Michael Ellis. It teaches trainers in a step by step manner how to use a toy as a reward in training your dog. It teaches dogs to OUT when asked and to bring the toy back when its released and it’s all done with motivational methods.

This is the latest in Leerburg’s series of training videos done with Michael Ellis. It’s a training video that follows Michael’s curriculum for his course on Motivation and Play at his school for dog trainers in California: michaelellisschool.com The work in this DVD (or video on demand) teaches trainers of all breeds (large and small) and trainers from every dog sport (agility, obedience, and protection sports) the advanced concepts of how to motivate their dogs. The goal of this training is to teach dog trainers how to turn a reward into an event for their dog. When trainers can learn these skills they are going to be able to manipulate the motivation and drive of their dogs.

In this eBook, Helen King outlines her proven techniques for selecting a puppy to compete in your desired dog sport. Picking Your Performance Puppy is more than a book about how to pick a puppy, it incorporates diagrams, pictures, and videos to better show you the small details to look for when selecting the right puppy.

The Foundation Fundamentals program is designed for all dogs at any skill level, whether a puppy or an adult. The purpose of this program is to build specific skills that your dog needs before you begin his obstacle training. It’s is very difficult to teach agility equipment to a dog if he’s running around with a toy, leaving you to go sniff, mugging you to get his treat, or going to visit others in hopes of finding something better than the reward you’re offering. You can’t train your dog to go over a jump or into a tunnel, much less chain together obstacles at speed, if he doesn’t know how to focus on the task at hand.

To achieve your goals in agility, you need a solid working relationship with your dog and a clear and consistent communication system, often referred to as a "handling system." A handling system is no more than a set of verbal and physical cues that tell your dog what you want him to do next. Conflicting cues or missing links in your communication system will limit what your team can achieve in the sport by causing a lack of confidence (the dog slows down, stops, or even leaves the ring) or frustration (the dog spins, barks, or tries to bite the handler). With clarity and consistency in your communication system, your dog will be more confident, focused, and sure of his job, which will allow you and the dog not only to achieve more, but also to enjoy the game more.

Most of us spend lots of time lavishly reinforcing good contact zone performances and start-line stays, but we don’t think about reinforcing and building value for the one thing the agility dog will do more of in his career than anything else—Jump!

Every course your dog will perform is mostly jumps, so he should approach jumps with great confidence and an understanding of how to perform them. Susan Salo believes the development of these skills begins at the puppy stage—teaching young dogs to read and drive a path to their target (and person), to understand how to react to distances that are constantly changing, and to do so without producing extra strides where they are not needed.

It's finally here—a video that gives you all the tools to improve your skills as a handler, regardless of the size of your backyard! Success with One Jump is a 2 DVD set that gives clear instruction on more than 20 exercises that will help improve your dog's understanding of the key handling maneuvers in agility, from a simple front cross to a more complex pull-through to distance skills. This video is a must-have for the seasoned competitor and novice handler alike.

Do you know what you should be looking for when you walk a course? Walking the course effectively is one of the most important skills you can develop. Successful competitors are ones who can consistently read the course correctly and then execute their plan. Memorizing the order of the obstacles is much different from analyzing the course and planning a handling strategy. In the Walking the Course DVD, Kathy breaks down two novice/open level courses and walks them with you, teaching you how to recognize changes of direction and different types of challenges on a course. She explains why and when you might use certain types of crosses as well as where you might place those crosses. Learn how to use your walk-through time effectively and plan your agility runs. This DVD is part of the Clean Run Agility Foundation Video Series.

This high quality bait bag is large enough to put your treats or dog toys in. Made of nylon, the bait bag is easy to clean. It also snaps open similar to that of a coin purse for the handler to easily access. Often when training, hands will be full but using the bait bag, you only need one hand to open it for treats and so forth.

If you have listened to our podcast on training with food treats you will know that different exercises are trained with different treats. There are applications for high value treats and applications for mid-range value treats. This three pocket training apron allows handlers to quickly apply these concepts to their training. It is made from Heavy polyolefin fabric that is Urethane backed. This backing makes for easy clean up. The apron is 18" wide and 7" long. The pockets expand for easy access into them. The pockets are 6"x6." All seams are double stitched for strength. Colors may vary.

We are a big fan of MARKER training here at Leerburg. If you are not familiar with what this is and want to learn about this very exciting way to train your dog get our Basic Dog Obedience video. Learning to give MARKERS is basically the beginning of learning timing in your dog training. Good timing is critical to every aspect of dog training. The timing of marking a behavior and the timing of giving a correction is something new handlers must learn if they are ever going to effectively train their own dog.

This wrist coil is great to hang your clicker on. It works perfectly with the i-Click Clicker as well as the Leerburg Clicker. Using this coil will keep your clicker near you at all times. You won't forget your clicker when you go somewhere because it'll be around your wrist.

Learn how to turn stress to confidence and distraction to focus using methods that are 110% positive. Leslie McDevitt's Control Unleashed® program is designed to help "dogs with issues" learn how to relax, focus, and work off-leash reliably in either stimulating or stressful situations. Whether you're training a challenging dog on your own or an instructor trying to figure out how to help dogs in your classes, this book is for you.

Control Unleashed®: Creating a Focused and Confident Dog was written as a problem-solving book to help handlers with mature dogs that were having behavior problems during canine-sport training or competition. This book is different. Control Unleashed®: The Puppy Program is meant as “preventive medicine” for puppy raisers. Many common behavior problems can be either prevented or minimized by starting a puppy with good foundation training from the beginning. In addition, this book provides a program that will help you create a puppy that is ready for sport-specific training at the appropriate age—a puppy with the ability to focus on whatever you want, for as long as you want, whenever you want.
