Teach Your Dog to Put Their Toys Away – PART 1- Shape Fest 2012 [video]
Here’s part 1 of the tutorial of how to teach your dog to put their toys away using Free Shaping. Free shaping is rewarding approximations until you reach the final behavior and not giving any prompts. The dog offers behaviors and you shape them.
Part 2 is coming soon! There isn’t much more to this trick, in fact, some of you might be able to figure out the rest. 🙂 Anyways, Tessa is still learning the trick, but I’ll post the rest of the tutorial when she’s learned it!
“Put away your toys” is a cute and helpful trick. I like using Free Shaping to teach this trick because you never get stuck having a verbal cue or pointing for you dog to get the toy. With this technique, your dog learns to go directly to the next toy after putting one away. Let me know how this works for you!
This tutorial is for the 2012 Shape Fest. Any positive dog trainers can post trick tutorials using Free Shaping, just put in the title “Shape Fest 2012.” Feel free to post your tutorial/s as a video response to this video too!

Today’s Cat Training Tips – TREATS [video]
This is my cat training tip for today – what size treats to use and what value treats to use when. Even using both a high value reward and a low value reward can work wonders or at least it has for me and Mollie. 🙂
This short movie goes over two parts of treats/rewards – the size and the value.
Cat tricks with Socks and Tulip [video]
Here is a short movie of Tulip and Socks performing the trick, “beg”. Tulip and Socks are trained with clicker training. Training is always fun and they love it. They are never forced to do anything. The cats always get rewarded for doing desirable behaviors; Tulip’s reward is wet cat food and Sock’s reward is praise. (Socks isn’t that much into food, so I used praise and attention as a reward.)
