Backchaining
Break the exercise up into small steps and start with the last one
first until the dog has it down well. Then back up to the previous
step, teach the dog that. At this point, when you have him do the new
step, you can add the last step that he knows well and in this fashion
work your way backwards through the whole exercise. It works nicely
because the dog already knows how to do the next step, so it keeps his
confidence and the positive tone up. This is most frequently used as a
way to polish (and proof) an exercise the dog already knows, as
opposed to teaching the exercise from scratch.
