Fun and effective tools to use in training and rehabilitation. These four flexible, non-slip discs can help train new behaviors, improve your dog's proprioception, help introduce your dog to new fitness equipment and more. Foot targets can be specifically good for shaping contact points in agility, beginning casting drills with hunting dogs, teaching a jump pattern for the ring sports or as a target for send away in obedience. The opportunities are endless!
Place one Target on the floor and use a clicker or treat to guide your dog to the Target. Reward your dog when their paw(s) are on the Target. Finally, move the Target to a different spot and repeat the process above to teach your dog the game.
To increase the challenge and unlock more exercise/rehabilitation options, increase the number of Targets used and create an obstacle course or pair the Targets with other FitPaws equipment, such as the Balance Pad.
