@dullBoy was browsing the dogTraining hashtag and saw your post. I’ve been working through Susan Garrett’s podcast (Shaped by Dog) and her ItsYerChoice games and it’s been a dog training revelation for me 🤯

Until very reverently, I was using treats as lures for most training (basically what most folks do) and we were getting frustrated by lures not working well for complex behaviors so now we do targeting and choice games. Sooooo much more enjoyable for both myself and my dog, and he learns new behaviors way faster with less frustration now.

The ItsYerChoice Game is the key building block to everything I teach in dog training. With ItsYerChoice, doing what YOU want, is going to be your dog's idea!
