This PDF version allows you to print out the book & cards (we recommend they be laminated for long term use).
Designed by Suzanne Clothier (with Heather Leonard), the RCT Training Games package features 24 delightful games, perfect for developing real life training skills using humor and play.
Each game can be played at 5 different levels, from beginner lure/reward to advanced. The games are suitable for all ages, and ideal for mixed age/skill groups. Some games may be played by just one dog & handler, but most are designed for 2 or more dog/handler teams.
The RCT Training Games help dogs and handlers build these useful skills:
SIT / DOWN / RECALL / GO PLACE / GET DRESSED / STAY / LOOSE LEASH WALKING / SPLITTING ATTENTION / WORKING with DISTRACTIONS / HAND & VERBAL SIGNALS
The detailed full color Users Guide offers specific tips on teaching, set up, rules of play, 5 levels, benefits, troubleshooting, variations & helpful hints.
The RCT TRAINING GAMES package includes:
• 24 Game Cards (full color, 5×7)
• 86 page User Guide (full color, detailed w/diagrams & more)
• 10 Activity Cards
INSTRUCTORS & CLUBS: Add some real value to your curriculum! Mix and match games according to skills, activity level (individual, group, quiet, active) and create your own Games Class effortlessly.
Ideal for mixed age/skill classes, the RCT Training Games are also perfect for 4-H & other youth groups, kennel clubs, rescue/shelters, families, friends, play groups and even dog park groups. Many trainers let me know they consider the RCT Training Games to be their secret advantage over their competitors. Designed for both the typical class as well as multi-skill, multi-age groups, these games are ideal for drop-in sessions.
Even if a handler hasn’t had a chance to improve the dog’s skills, they can play at the 1 star level (lure/reward). Instructors find that for the too-busy handler who just wants to go have some fun for an hour or so with their dogs, RCT Training Games offers the perfect solution. No need to fall further and further behind – just come & play at the level your dog can handle that night.
But RCT Training Games also allows for some serious skill development under distraction as handlers & dogs work towards the 5 star level which has crisp criteria for prompt response on minimal signals. I’ve enjoyed teaching these games to a class that included a 12 week old puppy *and* a dog with agility and obedience championships!

.... Everywhere!
You learn good things from good teachers, and what I have learned from this Training Games kit, from a teacher that puts the dog, and its relationship with you, first above all, is like a treasure that has finally been found, opened, and enjoyed. |

| Great Tool!, June 15, 2015 |
| Reviewer: Cindy |
| I've been using this tool both in my classes and as a stand alone for 'Games Night' drop ins for years now. My students love playing these games with their dogs! The graphics on the cards make it simple to sort through them when you're looking to practice a specific skill, and the handy reference for modifications is easy to follow. You won't be disappointed. And more importantly, neither will your clients! |

When a master instructor like Suzanne Clothier is willing to share how she orchestrates her classroom, it is an opportunity you don't want to miss. RCT Training Games Kit includes 24 games that will spice up your group training events.
Can your dog hold a sit when another dog is running past? 'Head of the Class' offers a format in which you can safely set up a class to provide your students with an opportunity to challenge their dog's ability to hold that stay, while another student is practicing recalls.
How can you invite your students to practice a variety of skills in close proximity, while also ensuring both team safety and participation? The 'Four Corners' game offers a road map.
RCT Training Games Kit is a great resource for training class curriculum. I have used ideas from this kit in a variety of classes I teach. The games have great flexibility--and include guidance for using them to help students at a variety of levels. Because you can adjust the challenges to meet a student team (handler/dog) exactly where they are, it is easy to present every student in your class with an appropriate task.
The flashcard format makes it easy to select just the tasks you need for the class you are planning. My classes have always enjoyed playing these games. |
