Performance Attention*: Creating Your Dream Team

 In this seminar presentation by Michele Pouliot, the topic of developing Enthusiastic Attention Behavior for performance is addressed. In most dog sports the handler strives to get full attention from their dog during performance. Without attention to the handler's cues, excellent performance is impossible. Many trainers include Attention as just one of the many criteria when teaching any behavior. Michele shows you how to train Enthusiastic Attention Behavior as a foundation skill, separate from other behaviors. Offering 100% Attention with an eager attitude in distracting situations is a very difficult behavior for most dogs. Michele's method of building this important skill as a separate behavior is both simple and brilliant. Learn the steps for teaching Performance Attitude and Attention from one of the best.
