Dog Training: Touch Pad Progression

The touch pad - an under utilized training tool by many. This simple addition to your training has many benefits: one more thing for you to shape (which creates independent thinking and builds confidence), helps to teach your dog hind end awareness, aids in your heel work, can be used for send aways for sport work or for film trick dogs to go to a specific target, keeps your change of positions at a distance precise vs your dog moving towards you, a holder for your dog vs just using a place....SO many benefits we definitely believe adding this $10 tool into your training is well worth it.

In this video we go over adding in the e collar to this known behavior. As with all of your commands the e collar should be added once there is a solid understanding of the behavior, not to teach a behavior. You will see after the e collar portion a progression from 6 weeks to 6 months when we add this awesome training tool on top.
