Featured ClickerExpo Sessions and Speakers

The Art of Practice - Kay Laurence

Excellence evolves from practicing. We all know this, but find it a challenge to implement. Instead of viewing practicing as a chore, we should see it as a privilege and an opportunity to be with the animals we care for. Enjoy the time together! Join Kay as she explores how to turn practice time into an exhilarating and rewarding experience. The outcome can only be an improvement in the training relationship with your learner.

Train That Chain! Behavior Chains - Laura VanArendonk Baugh

Behavior chains can be smooth and efficient packages of pristine behavior if handled well, or they can be frustrating and time-consuming if handled poorly. This Session will cover methods of training and assembling chains, ways to repair a broken chain, identifying and fixing unhelpful chains, and even some uses for chains you might not have thought of.

Puppy Einsteins Teaching Cued Behaviors to Young Puppies - Michele Pouliot

What's a fast, positive, and fun way to teach a young puppy to lie down, sit, stand, or stay? Can luring be a part of a clicker trainer's toolbox? In this Session, Michele Pouliot shares some of the techniques that she and Guide Dogs for the Blind use to teach foundation behaviors to young puppies. You will see how platforms can help teach introductory behaviors and concepts like sit, down, stand, and impulse control to puppies 8 to 16 weeks old.
