April's Challenge - Shut the Door

The goal of this challenge is for your dog to push a door to shut it. Here are the rules:

1. The goal is for your dog to shut a door by pushing it. The type of door does not matter.

2. The dog may use nose, paw, or another body part to shut the door.

3. Targeting is allowed

4. Luring is not allowed.

5. Shaping is always allowed.

6. Video submission must include training scenes and the final behavior on cue. Your dog must offer the behavior when cued (verbal and signal cues are allowed). The cue must be under stimulus control - we must see that your dog waits for the cue and does not perform it just on environmental cues.

7. Deadline for video submission is April 20.

8. Leave the link for your video submission in the comments to this post.

9. The winner will receive an On Cue tote bag.
