Jesse is trained using Positive Reinforcement(R+). We use a lot of shaping, and some luring. Training is all about building a wonderful relationship between handler and dog, and to work as a team. R+ builds confidence, and helps Jesse figure things out on his own. He absolutly loves working, and you can tell when he is having fun because he has a huge smile across his face =) Want to find out more about this wonderful training technique? An excellent resource for training books is Dogwise. If you would like to see which books we recommend, check out our "Recommended Reading" page. Trick training also creates a wonderful bond, and it is so wonderful to see Jesse thinking while performing.
