IABTC Certified C&T Awards There is a theory sections attached to all awards IABTC C&T 1 Looks at the basic use of the clicker and target training—your ability to time your clicks accurately and effectively, shape desired behaviours, free shape, put behaviours under cue, extend the duration of behaviours, use target objects, select, handle and deliver rewards well. IABTC C&T2 Looks at developing and using more complex behaviours, chaining, back chaining, generalisation, shaping with luring, changing cues, transferring targets, fading cues IABTC C&T3 Looks at handler ability to analyse behaviour patterns and the construction of exercises or tests, to use the system to develop behaviour chains of increasing complexity, to reduce complex chains to one cue, free shape complex behaviour chains. IABTC C&T4 (candidates must have C&T1-3 and IABTC Instructor Status) This level looks at the candidates ability to instruct individuals and small groups in the art and science of clicker and target training. Including developing your ability to teach others and guide them through the structure of exercises, timing, etc., as above and will require you to demonstrate your assessing skills, to identify if learning is taking place, to develop new exercises and challenges, making classes interesting and motivational for both dog and handler.
