The Canine Film Academy Clicker Award Scheme

 

The CFA created a Clicker Award Scheme to increase the  motivation of both the students and their dogs.  From Discoverers level and above, handlers customise their own course by choosing any of the exercises from the list below. We suggest that 5-8 behaviours is enough to train in any one term. The Awards are as follows: Bronze Dog and handler complete fifteen behaviours Silver Dog and handler complete twenty five behaviours Gold Dog and handler complete fifty behaviours Ruby Dog and handler complete seventy five behaviours Sapphire Dog and handler complete one hundred behaviours Emerald Dog and handler complete one hundred and twenty five behaviours Diamond Dog and handler complete one hundred and fifty behaviours ...and the dogs who have completed their Clicker Awards are: Bronze Silver Gold Ruby Sapphire The list of behaviours is as follows Attention (30 seconds) Attention (1 min) Back up (4 steps) Back up (10 steps) Back up (20 steps) Beg Bow Carry Catch Close door Close suitcase Cough Cover eyes 1 paw Cover eyes 2 paws Creep (10 feet) Creep backwards (5 feet) Distant control (6 move) Down Down (frog) Down (forelegs crossed) Down 1 min Down 2 min Down 5 min Down 5 min oos* Down 10 min oos* Ears back Ears forward Endorse with chin Endorse with 1  paw Endorse with 2 paws Freeze (hold a position) Go round (chair) Grumble Grumble no sound Happy dog Head down (sit) Head down (down) Head down (stand) Head tilt Heel backwards (5 feet) Heel forwards (100 feet) Hold 30 seconds Hoop (jump through) Hula hoop R (x 5) Hula hoop L (x5) Jump in the air Jump over a jump Lick lips Limp (10 steps) Look away No (shake head) Open door Open suitcase Pack a bag Pirouette Play dead (side) Play dead (back) Pounce Pray Pull light switch Pull a trolley Recall Recall (legs) Retrieve Ride a skateboard Ring bell Roll over Sad dog Salute Scent/Search Scratch body Scratch face Sendaway (Chin) Sendaway (Paw) Sendaway to mark (10’) (as above + 3 moves) (as above + 6 moves) Settle on a mat  Shake body Shake hands Shake an item Side step L (10 steps) Side step R (10 steps) Sit Sit 1 min Sit 2 min Sit 2 mins oos* Sit 5 mins oos* Sleep Smile (Grin) Sneeze Spanish walk (10 steps) Speak Speak “Hello” Stand Stand 1 min Stand 2 min Stand 2 min oos* Stand 5 min oos* Stick-em-up Tap floor Touch Target Turn away L Turn away R Twist L Twist R Walk on forelegs Walk on hind legs Walk to heel Wave Weave (legs) Weave (walking) Weave through hoop Whine/Whisper Yawn Yes (nod head) * oos is Out Of Sight Handlers are not limited to items on this list and a second cue is allowed.
