This Week's Training Challenge

Show us creative ways you end your formal session by letting the animal know something else is starting!

During the broadcast, Eva and Ken discussed that the end of a session should be viewed by the animal as the start of something else.

For this week's training challenge, we ask you to show us creative ways that you end your formal session by letting the animal know that something is starting. Don't give a cue that something is ending or being taken away, but instead that something new is starting.
