Take your training to the next level with our
Next Level Training course!
Behavior chains, cue stimulus, alternate reinforcers, ​and how to treat training mistakes - positively!

In this course, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of behavior chains, how to clean up your cues, how to work through training mistakes, and refine behavior cues and cue stimuli I.e.: Your dog will perform requested behavior the first time asked - cued - and will perform the correct behavior for that cue (antecedent control.)

Through the eight, 30-minute sessions, you’ll create a 10-behavior chain, (which can consist of previously learned behaviors) and develop stimulus control using one target/prop for a minimum of two behaviors. Once a week for eight weeks and 416.00
