I know a lot of people use the clicker/treat training. It is possible and great practice of teamwork and confidence to train without treats. I posted a video response so you can see what my 8 mo. old puppy is doing in agility--no treats necessary.
Your puppy is very cute. Good luck in your training. =)
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing with Leda's training. ;-) I am a dedicated clicker trainer, been doing this for over 8 years. I have free-shaped *nearly* all of her behaviors, which are many. We both have a BLAST and Lee-lee is very concrete.
Thanks for watching!

ps- I don't approve video responses unless they are of Leda's relatives because otherwise I'd just have too many on the pages. ;-)
I'm hoping so!!! She's getting good at this game now and will turn in a full circle or flip right or left on cue. Lee-lee is just too cute, she's like a little gymnast! Haha!
Not exactly. =) I have taken a few seminars over the years where the presenters say to accustom dogs to the DW board, help them gain good footing, etc. I started Leda at 8 weeks, I never thought to go back and do it with Hermes until I did a seminar last week.
I don't own a DW so I sort of thought up putting this board propped up in my house, I figure it's the same idea.. or close enough since the board is 2" thick and 12" wide like a DW. =)

I'm not sure, probably about 7 to 9 months old.

Wow! What a good way for body awareness. Is it okay if I email you with some clicker training questions regarding agility?
Awesome! I love dedicated clicker trainers!
