The Exam
When you’re ready, start your timer (a stopwatch works
well) and complete three repetitions of “The Airplane
Game” exercise in a row. This means holding up a treat
with your arms outstretched, waiting for your dog to make
eye contact, then dropping the treat—and repeating this
two more times. As soon as you’re finished, stop the timer
and check the grade table on the following page to find
out how well your dog scored.
Here’s a video of Einstein and me completing the exam:

You may have noticed that I use a clicker instead of
saying “yes.” In the Brain Training for Dogs course I will
teach you all about clickers and how to use them to take
your training to the next level.
Einstein’s Tip: to complete the challenge faster, use
small treats that your dog eats in one bite, and don’t
toss the treat across the room, just let it fall to the
ground. This one’s a joint effort between dog and owner
to get the ‘A’ grade!
