I recommend using a clicker as your mark. I recommend using treats as the reward. Dead Ball Retrieve Place a tennis ball down on the ground about 4 feet away from you and your dog. Have your dog go get the ball and observe which way the dog turn. Because that is going to be the way the dog turns during flyball.  Motivated Recall Place a tennis ball down on the ground about 8 feet away from you and the your dog. Don't have your dog in a sit, the dog should be standing on all fours. Have the dog go get the ball and right when they have it in their mouth start running away calling their name to get them to come to you faster. Hand Touch Phase 1 Dog touches the palm of your hand with its nose. Present either your left or right palm to your dog within 3 inches of their nose. Mark when the dog touches your plam. Place the reward in the touched plam. Vary the position of your palm in relation to the dog. Vary using right or left plam. Practice for 1 minute for 2 sessions per day. Phase 2 Dog touches hand when given a verbal command. Decide your cue. (touch,nose,palm) Start by prosenting the palm of either hand in front of the dog's head. Say your cue as your dog moves their head toward your hand.Place the reward in the palm of the hand offered. Phase 3 Dog follows the forward movement of your hand. Say your cue and moce your hand a short distance. Mark as the dog follows the hand. Reward on that palm. Gradually,require the dog to follow the hand further. Practice two sessions per day. Use 10 treats per session. Phase 4 Dog follows the forward movement of your hand at faster speeds. Review the touch game with both you hands. Increasde the speed you are moving your hand and encourage the dog to follow in a speedy fashion. Turn and take steps away from your dog encouraging him/her to chase you and catch up to your palm. Make a fame of it and have fun! Going Around An Object Phase 1 Dog goes around an object in the direction they turn. Find an object such as a cone, flower pot, bucket, empty trash can or coffee can that you can have your dog go around. DOG TURNS LEFT Stand facing the cone (or other object) with your feet close to it and your dog at your right side. Use your left hand to bring your dog around the cone towards the left. Click when the dog's nose reaches the halfway point, and then toss the treat or toy (from your right hand) behind you and to your left. Your dog should do a u-turn around the cone, not a complete circle. DOG TURNS RIGHT Stand facing the cone (or other object) with your feet close to it and your dog at your left side. Use your right hand to bring your dog around the cone towards the right. Click when the dog's nose reaches the halfway point, and then toss the treat or toy (from your left hand) behind you and to your right. Your dog should do a u-turn around the cone, not a complete circle. Do not hold the treat or toy in the hand you are having the dog target, as this can start a luring habit, which becomes hard to break. Have your treat ready in the opposite hand with your clicker, and toss as soon as you can after clicking. Once the dog starts going around the cone without the hand target, the treat tossing will become easier. After luring your dog 3-5 time around the cone, keep your hand at your sides and wair for the dog to direction to begin with. Mark and reward whatever is offered. Use teh treat or toyu to complete the turn around the object and toss the reward. Try looking at the cone rather than at your dog if she/he is not moving and just continues to start at you. As the dog gets the idea of going around the object, expect more behavior before marking. Remember to practice in short sessions (two minutes) and keep it fun! STOP-Do not move on to the next phase until your dog is able to complete the full u-turn around the cone while you keep your hands at your sides.   Phase 2 Dog goes around the object when given a verbal cue. Use the same object your dog was trained to go around. Stand in front of the cone with you dog to your side as before. Wait for your dog to offer going around the object. DO NOT LURE! As the dog begins to go around the object, say your cue. Frequently  used cues are "Turn", "Around","Out" or "Circle". mark when the dog has moved half way around the object. Practice 1- times where you wair for the behavior each day. Finish with cueing your dog BEFORE they start to move. Jackpot if they respond correctly! If your dog fails to respond to your cue, break eye contact and wait for the dog to offer the behacior, again adding the cue as teh dog is going around the cone. STOP-Do not move on to the next phase until your dog is standing still when you say the cue and then responding to it by going around the cone 8 out of 10 tries. Phase 3 Dog goes around an oject with a verbal cue while handler is one step back. Use the same object your dog was trained to go around. Stand in front of the cone with your dog at your side as before. Take one small step backwards away from the cone. Give your dog the cue to go around the cone and wait for your dog to move. If you dog doesn't go around the cone take a step back closer to the cone and wair. Do three turns around the cone, marking and rewarding for each turn. Then take a half-step back from the cone. If your dog still refuses to go around you should go back to Phase 2. If it is neccessary for you to move your arms or use hand-touch to get your dog to go around, please go back to Phase 1. STOP-Do not move on to the next phase until your dog is standing still when you say the cue and then responding to it by going around the cone 8 out of 10 tries while you are one step back from the cone. Phase 4 Dog goes around and object from an increasing distance. Use the same object your dog was trained to go around. Stand in front of the cone with your dog at your side as before. Start one step backwards away from the cone. Give your dog the cue to go around the cone and wait for your dog to move. Take one more step away from the cone. Give your dog the cue to go around the cone and wair for your dog to move. If you dog doesn't go around the ocne take a step back closer to the cone and wair. Do three turns around the cone, marking and rewarding for each turn. Then take a step back from the cone again. If you dog still refuses to go aaround you should go bakc to Phase 3. If your dog correctly responds to your cue without help from you 8 out of 10 practices, increase the distance by 1 step at the next practice session. Day by day, gradually increase the distance between you and the cone. If your dog fails, go back to a shorter distance and be more gradual about increasing the distance.   Final Goal-You can send your dog to go around the cone from a distance of 10 feet.     Learning To Jump Phase 1 Dog jumps over an object Flyball jumps are not necessary at home for your dog to learn to jump on command. A small board (4-6 inches wide), held securely upright can be used. Make sure you introduce yoru dog to the jump before you try to have them jump the first time by letting them sniff it and make sure there is nothing there of which to be afraid. Begin using hand touch to encourage your dog to jump over the board. Mark for the jump and toss the treat away from the jump. After 3 or 4 jumps with you luring with hand touch wait for the dog to jump on their own. As with going around and object, it may start with a look at the jump or a motion toward it. If the dog is offering something other than a jump (like a look or a step towards the jump), mark that, but toss the treat to encourage the dog to jump. Be sure to mark that jump! Practice in short sessions and be sure not to over do it. Phase 2 Dog jumps over and object on cue. Stand next to your dog about 2-3 feet away from the jump. Wait for your dog to offer jumping. Do not lure! As the dog begins to jump,add your cue, Frequently used cues are "Jump","Hup", or "Over". Mark for the jump and toss the treat away from the jump. Practice 10 times where you wair for the behavior each day. Finish with cueing your dog before they start to jump. Jackpot if they respond correctly! If your dog fails to respond to your cue,break eye contact and wait  for the dog to offer the behavior, again adding the cue,as your last try for the session. Look At That! Phase 1 Dog is rewarded for looking at things. While walking the dog or working with the dog,mark immediately when the dog turns their head to look at something. Be sure it is before they can over-react. It can be another dog, piece of paper,a person,a squirrel,anything. Reward close to your body. Practice whenever you can with lost of different things. Increase the distance between you and the object if you dog is lunging towards the object or will  not turn towards you for the reward. Your dog's head should turn towards you to get the treat. You should not hold the treat out for your dog. Phase 2 Add A Cue. Watch your dog closely. When they turn to look at something, use your cue to looka at something. Cues could be "Look at that!" "What's that?" "Look" "Oh my!" Mark for the dog looking and reward close to you. Phase 3 Dog looks at an object then looks back at handler. When the dog looks at something, pause 1-2 seconds before marking. If the dog turns back to look at you before you mark, mark and reward generously the turn toward you. Take a step away from the object if your dog will not break its focus on it. Your dog's head should turn towards you to get the treat. You should not hold hte treat out for your dog. Phase 4 Dog looks on cue and turns to handler for reward. Begin cueing your dog to look. Mark for the dog looking in the same direction you are looking (be sure you're looking at something!). Reward close to you. Start using other dogs and people as objects you are both looking at. Work your way to gradually to the objuects that are most distracting for your dog.
