You can even teach advanced skills such as closing a door, turning a light switch on and off, and retrieving objects by name.<\/p>\n<p>In this video, Karen Pryor Academy\u2019s Executive Vice President of Training, Ken Ramirez, demonstrates how to get started teaching your dog this important and versatile skill!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":6768,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[517,516],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-news-events"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.1 (Yoast SEO v25.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Teach Your Dog to Target - Karen Pryor Academy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The holiday season is a joyous time for humans.
