The goal of the Weekly Inspirations Program is to inspire you to train your dog something new each week. This program is unique in that each 4 week period, we will cover 4 different exercises in video tutorials: Trick tutorial – to build your training skills and your dog’s learning skills. Focus game – to build your dog’s interest in you and training. Body awareness trick tutorial – to build your dog’s body awareness, balance, coordination, strength and flexibility while exercising his mind. Proofing game – to teach you how to create reliable behaviors and take your training to the next level. This 52 week program is designed not only for dog lovers who just want to have fun and bond with their dog through weekly training exercises, but also for dog trainers and those competing in dog sports to use as a tool for cross training, or in other words a tool for adding variety to their training. The hardest part of adding variety to training is thinking up what to train and when. We will do it for you. Providing a year’s worth of inspirations. 13 Trick tutorials, 13 Focus games, 13 Body awareness exercises, and 13 Proofing games! Because of the way that the program is constructed, there is always the possibility of skipping a week and not getting left behind, this way, if you and your dog’s life gets hectic or you need to focus on training that is more specific to your goals, you will not get left behind as the weeks progress. The benefits: *Provides mental stimulation. *Sharpen your training skills. *Sharpen your dog’s learning skills. *Add variety to your training plan. *Increase your dog’s body awareness, balance, coordination, strength and flexibility. *Take the pressure off! This isn’t a competition. It’s meant to be fun for you and your dog. If you are not having fun with a certain learning game or trick, skip it! You can always try it again later, no pressure! How it works: By paying the one time membership fee of 150$, you will be granted access to the Weekly Inspirations section of the Dogmantics.com website. Each week, for 52 weeks, a video tutorial will be posted. Each four week period will contain a video trick tutorial, focus game, body awareness trick tutorial and a proofing game. The first tutorial will be posted 28th of February 2015. Then every Saturday at 8am Pacific Time a new video post will be added to the ‘Weekly Inspirations’ members section of the Dogmantics.com website until the 52 weeks have passed. Once all 52 video tutorials have been posted, the videos will remain on the website for two years after the program’s start date for your future reference. This is also so that people who sign up later, can have access to the videos for a full year. The video tutorials are created by the trainers of Dogmantics Dog Training- Emily Larlham (AKA Kikopup) and Martina Sunnas. Emily and Martina will take turns instructing as well as doing joint tutorial videos. The tutorials will be released weekly but we will release the subjects of future tutorials as we go, 8 weeks at a time. Here is the plan for the first 8 weeks of the program: Week 1 – Trick tutorial Paws up Week 2 – Focus game Proofing attention with thrown treats Week 3 – Body awareness trick tutorial Stationary Weave Week 4 – Proofing game Proofing the release cue with words Week 5 – Trick tutorial Bang Week 6 – Focus game Toss the treat motivating game Week 7 – Body awareness trick tutorial Back up Week 8 – Proofing game Cue discrimination Difficulty level: These video tutorials are designed to be easy to understand for those with a very basic knowledge of Clicker Training. However, for the trick tutorials, we also add ideas of variations of the behavior at the end of the video or written description for those who want a challenge or who have already trained that specific behavior already. For example, in the free video sample of the ‘Paws Up’ tutorial, those who have yet to train the trick can just work on teaching their dog the beginning steps to teaching the dog to put their paws up. Those who are more advanced can work on the different ideas of adding a twist to the behavior, such as the dog staying with his paws up no matter what the distraction, or looking left and right while in the paws up position. The tutorials will cover the steps of how to train the behavior in detail. The ideas of how to add a twist or increase difficulty will just be listed Purchase a membership now!
