Read the Review by Ken Ramírez!
“Bravo to Michele Pouliot for producing a new series of excellent trick training tutorials, "Clicker Training for Performance”. Each DVD in this multi-tutorial series focuses on one specific trick behavior (e.g. head in a prop, the monkey pose, the front feet paw stand). I love the detail Michele provides for each behavior, including potential pitfalls. In each video, she demonstrates the training with her own dogs as well as shows the training being done by clients and colleagues and wraps up showing many examples of the trick in performance. While this series was created with canine freestyle performance in mind, I think all trainers, no matter what type of training they do, would find value in seeing a behavior broken down into small steps and learning the benefits of strategic placement of reinforcement. I also found great value in seeing the same training plan being implemented with different dogs and by different trainers. I think these DVDs would be valuable additions to any trainers library.”
