From the back cover:

“Target Training provides another way to help you shape behaviors, lets you build speed from the beginning, and focuses the dog on the training.  Save your back, work at a distance, or get tricky parts of the dog, such as back feet, moving the way you want them to move.  No matter what your training goals, targets can help you get there.

Take your training to a new level

• Learn how to train your dog to target your hand, a contact disk or a target stick, then utilize targets to build complex behaviors.
• Learn how to analyze and break down a behavior into easily trainable steps to get great results.
• Use target training for good manners, therapy dog work, a variety of sports, or to teach tricks.
• Teach your dog how to work at a distance with speed and accuracy.”
