Video Refresher Library
Updated: Sep 28
Please read the instructions in bold first so you understand how this list is set up.
Sometimes when you practice training skills, you might need a little reminder of what something looked like or how we did something. This resource library has some great options for review. The training skills are listed alphabetically below.
Click the name of the training skill if it has a link (shows up as a color, not black) to read an article. When a skill might have more than one name, both are listed and the resources are identical.
If there are numbers or words listed after the name of the skill, those are supplemental videos.
Because some of these videos were made by other trainers, there may be some small differences but the general picture is the same. If they use a clicker, you can use your word, "Good!" or "Yes" instead.
If you need help, if a link isn't working for you (sometimes something is taken down after I've posted and I don't realize yet), or if you don't see the skill you're looking for, please email tanzi@dogcrazylady.com for help.
If you need guidance about how often to train or how to add difficulty, check out this article: https://www.dogcrazylady.com/post/2017/01/03/the-basics-of-training
