That's the very first step. Then send to the target and click for a nose touch. Take a lid and click every time they touch it with their nose. That’s the very first step.

(you can use any small white round lid). when he touches it praise him alot. then once he knows to touch it, send him over a jump with a target and treat on the other side. soon you can take the treat off, and give it to him one he touches it. the way i tought my BC to target is to say (Dogs Name) “Target!” and place a small treat on the target.

But I don't understand why we are learning this from comments... Shouldent we learn it from the video it's self? It is not very explainatory. I mean I've watched all of theese and NOTHING about target training. Idk. Thats just me, though. I’m with ilyTtixie406, I tageet trained my dog that way, so thank you.

As all good agility trainers know, any mistakes, especially in distance training, are the fault of the handler. Clearly the handler does not have proper distance training for this dog as the dog continually wants to return to the handler. This is the worst example of distance and independence handling training I have yet to see. Um, no, the handler “messed up” here.
