Online Targeting Training Course (4 Hours)
Our Online Targeting Training Seminar is a structured 4-hour live program designed to teach dog owners and trainers how to use targeting as a powerful foundation tool in modern dog training.
Targeting means teaching the dog to intentionally touch or move toward a specific object, hand, platform, or position. This method builds clarity, precision, body awareness, and advanced communication between dog and handler.
Target training is widely used in obedience, agility, detection work, service dog training, and behavior modification programs.
