For my coursework to become certified as an Atlas Certified Service Dog Trainer I have to submit video of me teaching a variety of different skills.

In this video you'll see me teaching my husband, Eric, how to play the Whiplash game (control unleashed) with our dog Jake.

The goal of this game is to teach your dog to reorient to you (turn towards you) both without asking (called offered attention) and on cue when you say their name. This type of fun game can be used to start a dog off on recall training, teach them to check in with you (like in the woods), and to start teaching them a solid "whiplash" response to their name.

Happy Training!

We use the reorienting game as a warm-up prior to training sessions—but I’d forgotten all about adding Trip’s name! Guess I’ve been missing a great opportunity to reinforce that as well (duh!). It’s funny how games evolve. My favorite way to walk Trip is to saddle up the donkey. We ride quiet roads and have a protocol for passing vehicles. As soon as one is coming Trip’s trained to get on the ditch side and sit or lie down and wait for the car to go by, upon which he gets his treat. Trip’s cue used to be the sound of a car coming, but since he’s mostly deaf now that’s unlikely. So it’s evolved to me loudly saying “Uh-oh!” Guess if we had to name it it would be the “Uh-oh” game. Hope no husbands were harmed in the making of this video! Many thanks to him for being such a good sport!

I can’t wait!! Are you familiar with TAG teaching? It occurred to me another approach would be to TAG teach your husband to do his part, before adding Jake. That would add a second layer of clicker training, just in case you want to complicate things even more. :-) Or potentially make them simpler? I TAG taught my husband how to zip up his jacket, because he tends to jam his zippers and gets very annoyed with my wordy interventions. Saw a seminar by the creator of TAG at Clicker Expo years ago. There’s a great interview of her at Animal Training Academy’s podcast too. (Also, I LOVE Control Unleashed. Those games fixed my reactive dog!)

Actually, watching again, I realize the way you taught this is what made me think of TAG. Esp at 4.29 when you broke it down to the tag points; the verbal feedback to your husband, and the pauses for clarifications. It’s really interesting watching you apply two training layers at once! Almost like getting to watch you work with a guide dog client. Thanks!
