Hey guys, my name is Alyssa and I work with a program called Dogs for Autism (DFA raises and trains service dogs for families with children with autism. index)
My current trainee is a 6month old English Shepherd.
Occassionally, we have a select few of our dogs go to ABA therapy sessions. I'd like to teach Conner (my trainee) a series of 3 tricks that the kids in therapy are asked to do in their first session.
The three are:
Touch your nose, Clap your hands, Stomp the floor.
I have two of them complete, but I can not figure out a way to teach him to sit up and clap his paws together. Any ideas?
