Glory B Wildhaus from Agility Class last night (video)
Neat to watch comparison of the Golden Retriever with Glory's runs.

Thanks for posting that it was fun to watch! Were you clicking as she went through the weave poles?

I'm actually clicking each time she goes over a jump, into the tunnel, gets on the equipment. She explained it's to help with drives and enthusiasm because the dogs get the information 'THAT was correct' so it's encouraging without the distraction of us instead talking and praising all the time. Quick to click and keep running. I think the idea is that the reward after the click is what is rewarding TO THE DOG. So it can be a treat, or a toy, or running on. It seems to be working and isn't for teaching new behaviors. It's for when you are doing something fast, and want to encourage the dog by giving the immediate feedback and information that they are right right right right and the REWARD is we get to continue on fast fast fast! BTW, I also do it when Glory is weaving, I click each pole (I think I'm supposed to actually have the good timing to click each time she CHOOSES to go away and around the next pole, but she's so fast and gets it now that I'm just running and clicking 12 times for the 12 poles). Big food reward TOSSED out when she exits the weaves so it continues with the 'fast' and the acceleration and is a BONUS to add the food.

Loved the video! I've never done agility, but would love to one day. BTW: all three of my dogs came running in to my computer room when I was playing the video to see what dogs were in here raising all the ruckus! Hilarious!

For those that had questions about my use of the clicker (and GOOD FOR YOU! and you all have very good hearing
 ) I went back and fixed my original post to clarify what I've been told to do by my instructor. Just go back up 4 posts....

 When & how often do you ever treat ? My dogs sure expect a treat with every click. Would love to train this method as I do like the clicker being a nice cue to go, go, go !  Any tips on teaching the *switch* & how to train a rt/left switch ? I also fight some turns with crossing at times. I'm a huge fun of rear crossing & hardly ever front cross if I can get away with it. Awesome dogs, video, & building.............. BTW, awesome job to you too! LOL
