Mooffz target discs set of 8

Teach your dog to touch a "target" with its nose or paw. Touch!

Begin to offer the disc by hand. As soon as the dog touches the disc with its nose, say "touch." Then put the disc on the floor and see if the dog also wants to touch this disc. As soon as the dog touches it with its nose, say "touch" and reward the dog. Use a treat or clicker to reward your dog when the dog shows interest in the target disc.

Another fun exercise is to hold the target disc against a piece of furniture, for example a 'touch' sofa. Then try to take out the target disk. You can teach the dog to name several objects.

Now you can start using the target discs to send the dog from target to target and make it stay in a certain place. Another nice exercise is to take a target disc in your hand and walk a bit. Try to get the dog to touch the target disc with its nose while walking. Before you know it you'll have a nice tracking exercise!

The target discs are flexible discs filled with a small amount of air. For puppies this is a nice first preparation for a balance pad. Let them stand with their front legs on 2 discs.

• Note: Only use the target discs as training material. If you hold the disc in your hand, prevent the dog from biting it.
