About the Weekly Inspirations

It’s important to be inspired. The goal of the Weekly Inspirations Program is to inspire you to train your dog something new each week for a whole year. The video tutorials were created by the dog trainers of Dogmantics Dog Training- Emily Larlham and Martina Sunnås in 2015, where at the time the videos were released weekly. Emily and Martina take turns instructing as well as doing joint tutorial videos. This program is unique in that each 4 week period, we will cover 4 different exercises in video tutorials: Trick tutorial – to build your training skills and your dog’s learning skills. Focus game – to build your dog’s interest in you and training. Body awareness trick tutorial – to build your dog’s body awareness, balance, coordination, strength and flexibility while exercising his mind. Proofing game – to teach you how to create reliable behaviors and take your training to the next level. The way we constructed the program makes it so that you can go through the tutorials in order at your own pace, or randomly pick and choose between the tutorials. All of the tutorials are in depth and if a step is required before training the behavior you will be pointed to where to learn the prior steps. There is also the possibility of working on multiple exercises and behaviors from different videos at the same time if you so wish. Difficulty level: These video tutorials are designed to be easy to understand for those with a very basic knowledge of Clicker Training. However, for the trick tutorials, we also add ideas of variations of the behavior at the end of the video or written description for those who want a challenge or who have already trained that specific behavior already. For example, in the free video sample of the ‘Paws Up’ tutorial, those who have yet to train the trick can just work on teaching their dog the beginning steps to teaching the dog to put their paws up. Those who are more advanced can work on the different ideas of adding a twist to the behavior, such as the dog staying with his paws up no matter what the distraction, or looking left and right while in the paws up position. The tutorials will cover the steps of how to train the behavior in detail. The ideas of how to add a twist or increase difficulty will just be listed or shown with little or no explanation.
