Kikopup's Guide to Clicker Training

Emily, AKA Kikopup, has compiled this what she believes to be the most important exercises, skills and concepts on clicker training that have been the key to her success with training complex tricks and behaviors as seen on her popular youtube channel 'kikopup'. You will learn how to train behaviors using capturing, free shaping and luring, teach your dog to offer behaviors, use targeting, add a cue, fade a lure, move on to using less reinforcement, and more. This video was made for those new to clicker training, as well as advanced trainers. The material is catered for beginners who do not yet know scientific jargon. Although this video covers the foundations of clicker training skills, it also contains personal insights and tips that are solely from the mind of Emily, as well as more tricky subjects, like fixing a broken behavior and training without the intentional use of 'no reward markers'. This video focuses only on the skills necessary for training behaviors using a clicker and does not focus on behavior modification or solving behavioral problems .  Running Time: 3 hrs 07 mins Produced by Tawzer Dog LLC Filmed 2013 Copyright 2013 Tawzer Dog LLC Topics covered: Intro Reinforcement to use Timing and Treat Delivery Skills Getting Attention (and interrupting behaviors) Attention Games When to not use a clicker Getting Behavior- Capturing, Luring, and Free Shaping Targeting- touch and target stick Targeting- nose and foot Teaching offering Cues Maintained Behaviors Release cues Teaching Keep going Adding Variety Drop it, get it Planning Training Sessions Moving on to a Variable Ratio of Reinforcement Stimulus control and proofing Creating clarity to messy training Training without using NRM’s
