This DVD is a live recording of a presentation done at the 2007 Clean Run Instructor Conference.

Positive reinforcement is so much more than giving your dog a cookie or a pat on the head or tossing a toy for him. Learn how to get the most out of your reward system by combining handler interaction and valuable positive reinforcement when training and competing. Make the training process more fun for both yourself and your dog, and also learn to use toys effectively during agility training.

Rachel discusses and demonstrates the "dos" and "don'ts" of play using her dog as well as dogs from the audience. Learn to use toys more effectively in your training.
