"Get your dog ready to learn, is important in the previous agility obstacle, training, as well as the tricks that I have talked about. When your dog is focused and knows what the expectation is, it's a better chance that they will perform better for you. To get your dog ready to learn, I like to use sounds with my mouth, sounds with my hands or stomps with my feet. I also like to motion with my hands to get my dogs attention, so they know something is about to happen. Generally, through experimentation with these different sounds, you're going to find which one truly works, with your dog, and what they will respond to. Once you notice the response from your dog, they're going to be expecting something to happen, whether it's a command, agility obstacle or a trick. Once that connection has been made, it becomes a lot easier to execute, successfully, different things with your dog, whether it's agility or different tricks."

on 11/23/2008 Start this video with the second sentence in the script. The first is confusing and not necessary.
Why did you resort to slow motion? What did that add to the video, except to fill up time while you were talking. Why not shoot additional video to elucidate your voice over instead of the same old same old?
There is a basic flaw here in the instruction. First you show how to rehearse the release, but then you go ahead and throw the treat several times in a row without rehearsal. Which is the correct technique?
