How to train a dog Pivoting- for Heel, Rally, Freestyle + more

I made this video about 6 months ago for someone. Thought I would put it up on the net as people ask me how to train this all the time. Its not the best quality 'how to' video, but it will do. Just keep in mind I made this for a compulsion trainer that was new to clicker training, so there is a lot of luring going on in this video because I thought that would be easier to explain through the internet, Shapers you have been warned! :)

Splash was 6 months old in the 'how to' part of this video.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes!

How do you remove the treats as help in the end and teach them to do it on cue or with hand signs or whatever? Just started with clicker and am a bit scared to use luring and such, since I don't want my puppy to look for that all the time and never ¤try by himself¤ to see what can make me click.

Yes, shaping you can do- Shape your dog to offer front feet on the book. Then just move around the book, most dogs will try to turn and face you and offer back leg movements. Its pretty easy to shape (I made this video for a person with a dog that had been punished for offering behaviors).

Theres no sin in luring- in fact, once your dog GETS the idea of luring you never have to actually hold a treat in your hand, just get the dog to follow your open or closed hand, or a finger. It just becomes a cue- "you are learning a new behavior pay attention to what you are doing!" A rule to follow with luring is- only lure with a real treat no more than 3 times! Then get that lure out of your hand!

I am speechless! I just wanna say that your video is complete. You showed us with two different typesof dogs how to use this amazing technique of positioning the dog next or in front of you. The music and the organization of the video are lovely! Bravo!

Thanks soo much! I really appreciate it!

BTW, how did you train Splash to stick to your leg when you go (not turn) right or left? like in minute 8:42

Using targeting- the dog is targeting her face to my hand or left side Message me if you want more info :)

Hello, I just want to congratulate you on your video, very complete. I am a dog trainer, I train my dogs with positive reinforcement, and are getting very interested in the clicker way of training, I have been taking courses on it, but I was impressed to see all you have acomplished with the clicker training, can I ask how long did it take you to train the dog to pivot like he is at the end. Keep the videos comming :) good stuff on clicker training. Thanks again.

THANK YOU!! There are lots of videos showing dogs DOING perch work, but yours is the first one I have seen showing how to TEACH perch work! Very clear. Of course as soon as you started, I could see the way to do it, why didn't I get it before? I have always been a +motivational trainer, but have just switched over to clicker. Magic!! I have Weimaraners, an Irish Water Spaniel, Min Pin and Dachshund, so from 40kg (100lb), to about 2 lb. Have subscribed, and look forward to going through them all.

Muy bonito Emily !!

the promblem with this video is that some people including me has dog that are giants compare to those dogs, if dogs were smaller it would probaly be harder to train. no hating on ur vidoes or anything because that one with loose leash walk realy worked!!!!! but i dont think a 100pound dog wants to lift his backside that much, but keep making dog training videos!!!!! Thanks!

@rosebredthoroughbred: where can u buy a clicker? How much did urs cost and what can u use to replace that sound if u can't find a clicker? Are there different volumes too?

[IzzyBooNZ1]

very helpful, thank you ! my question is, do you teach this going clockwise or anti-clockwise? I will be using this with my rottie for rally-o.Also do you have any videos on teaching your dog a left turn? thanks !

[RoseGreyThoroughbred]

I can't wait to try this with my dog! I love clicker training! Thanks for such a cool training video!

hi, I've been trying this but one of my puppy doesn't seem to want to trurn, they will turn their head but will back away instead of turning. and how to teach my other puppy to do from the front to heel position, she always moves away everytime i try to go close (she is very shy). Any suggestion?

thanks
