I made this video about 6 months ago for someone. Thought I would put it up on the net as people ask me how to train this all the time. Its not the best quality 'how to' video, but it will do. Just keep in mind I made this for a compulsion trainer that was new to clicker training, so there is a lot of luring going on in this video because I thought that would be easier to explain through the internet, Shapers you have been warned! 🙂
Splash was 6 months old in the 'how to' part of this video.
Good luck! Let me know how it goes!

5 Stars:)! We are still working on this and Kaine is really getting the hand of it. I like that he has more back end awareness now too:).
Woofs n’ Wags,
Ashley & Kaine
Excellent method for teaching back-end awareness. Emily – Chase has almost got his backwards weaves, we just need a bit more practice. Thank you for posting these videos and sharing your knowledge. Clicker trained dogs are happy dogs!! You help make happy dogs. 🙂
Precioso ejercicio Emily 🙂
Yo también practico con libros y taburetes, es perfecto para mover la parte de atrás del perro en rotación.
Un fuerte saludo
Emely, you and your dogs are wonderful! We just visited our puppy the second time (he is 6 weeks old) and cannot wait to start training him in two weeks when he is home!
I also recommend you to everyone and our breeder will be linking to your videos from her site!
God bless!
Tanya
Thank you so much for posting this! Ironically I was just working with our puppy on perchwork this morning & got VERY frustrated. This video helped a great deal! THANK YOU!
I love your videos! They give me plenty of new ideas. Thanks for sharing!
super!!!!!me agrada mucho este video para mi es el mejor que he tenido la oportunida de ver te felicito tienes trabajos muy pero muy bueno gracias por compartilos con todos no tienes idea de lo que me a ayudado y lo sorprendido que estoy despues de verlo saludos y un brazo desde ecuador
I am speechless! I just wanna say that your video is complete. You showed us with two different typesof dogs how to use this amazing technique of positioning the dog next or in front of you.
The music and the organization of the video are lovely! Bravo!
This is just awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing. We are just starting to learn this with our local trainer. Your video lets us see where we are headed! Wow!
Thank you for sharing. I was stuck. My pup loves the heel between game and is a master at “touch” so this was a super easy transition. Thanks a ton.
Awesome video, yet again! I’m interested in what verbal commands you use for this pivoting. Does it change depending on the direction of pivot? Thanks again for sharing your talents and that of your pups.
I wanted to thank you for this video (and all of your others). You’ve really opened up my eyes to what training can achieve. I used this video to teach my dog how to pivot, and since they she’s picked up loads of new behaviours as a result of her increased hind-end awareness. We’ve begun competing in Rally, too.
I’ve got a few of my dog’s videos on my page, and I invite you to check them out. I (think) I attached a video response.
Thanks again. Keep up the great work!
Out of all the turns and movement, how much of that do you apply a verbal command to? Is it strictly for muscle memory? Or are you using verbal and/or hand ques for left (turn)/right (turn)/front? If so, what are your methods for transitioning that into a competition heel? Thank you for sharing your techniques.
I’ve need help with teaching rear end awareness and I think this is exactly what we need. Thanks!!
What a great video! I’m working on intermediate rally signs, and was at a loss how to teach my dog to pivot. Thanks for the advice… looks like your dogs are very happy. Yay for dogs and the people who love them.
Here is a newer video of the same exercise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEqQDw8Jo9M
Watched this a few months ago, got three dogs who can pivot around a book in various ways now, no one ever got so excited about that text book like these dogs do when I touch it. I just checked back in to what inspired me to do this trick for what steps to do next. Thanks yo!
Thank you for the great video. I have a dachshund so seeing both small and large dog demos were very helpful. So often the translation to small is not apparent and becomes frustrating for me. Also just using a book and keeping it simple allows me to try it right away.
Yes! I used your ‘chin’ technique to train my dog to allow me to brush his teeth. Now it’s easy. When I went looking for pivot training, I instantly thought of Kikopup! Thanks for the step by step and the amazing endless vatiations.
