Oooohhhh baby Waggy🥺😍

I believe of all 150 or so podcasts I have listened to, this is the most complicated one for me. I would have to watch it many more times 😉
-
I LOVE this. I had no idea I was doing something pretty similar. My 13 week old standard poodle knows the names of several toys and can get them on cue-- his favorite stuffy is a penguin named Pablo, all his west paw toys go by their own names (bumi, toppl, etc), any animal product like a pizzle or whatever is just called bone... etc! And of course we've been following along and he can tell the difference between search and get it! lol I'm so excited, I feel like I'm getting something right at last! 🤣

I'm pondering whether the "Show Me" for the wilderness area live find search dog is a Location Specific Reinforcement Marker. Typically the dog ranges off leash from the handler, finds the subject, returns to the handler with a find indication (such as jumping on the handler), the handler says "Show Me", and the dog takes the handler to the subject where the dog is rewarded. So in this case, the specific location for the reward is known by the dog, but not by the handler (at least in a real search scenario, in training we usually do).
-
I just wanted to say your video editing is really great, your editor (or yourself, IDK) is quite aware of what to do and when to highlight what you're saying 💪
-
I 100% agree with Bash. I will have to listen to this one a few more times. It seems a little overwhelming to me to give multiple cues and tones for the same direction. I'm sure working thru H360, it will become more clear.
-
Lots of good information! Thanks! Will have to review it again a few times to try to remember it all.
-
Interesting Susan talk on LSRMs just noticed that I have been doing this without realizing it Working sheepdogs use whistles or words for left, right, stop, go Eg Away, Come by, lie down, "that ll do" are all location-specific markers for behaviors. as the reward is getting to work the sheep . When working two dogs with the sheep each dog will have different whistles for those positions so they work as a team. Love your podcast has really helped me understand my dogs better. thank you
-
Love this! This podcast supports what I keep saying about training dogs being very similar to programming
-
this is a good one...who am I kidding they're all good...but will start right away with this info, very helpful in growing the relationship with my 6mth pup
-
Lots to work on ... Must work on my consistency 😉. 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

Thanks for the great information. Kodi and I do Rally Obedience and in training he is most rewarded by personal play, tug or chase ball games. I don't currently have a LSRM for personal play but do for tug and chase. But... sometimes we just play chase without training. Should a different cue be used because there isn't a requirement for a specific behavior OR because these are so rewarding to him, should I limit these for training rewards only? I have noticed if I don't offer "free play" all the time that my dog is much more invested in the training session. Curious of your take on this.

Hi, this is great and helpfull! I went back here again after off leash part 3 . I am a little bit confused now about the use of the clicker. What is the meaning of the "click-clack" ? You are right and you will get reinforcement, if you make further good choices, and listen what kind of reinforcement (get it, search,.... ) you will get? So I have to train discrimination between all of them too.
-
Susan: who is Shade Weitzel the protection trainer you refer to.
-
How is that with 'get it' once your dog is allowed to break position (like catching the toy in your hand, running towards food/toy) and the other times it's not allowed (like get it while putting cookies next to their nose). Isn't it confusing for the dog? I noticed you often say cookie instead of get it when you want to reinforce but keep the position. Is that what you lean more into now?
-
I'm also not sure what you mean by Mark for Position and Reward for Behavior. Do you talk about this anywhere else?
-
So...why don't you use the musher's "gee" and "haw" for the turns?🤔
-
I cannot find your 'distance' podcast.Thx
-
It's been buggin' me since you mentioned it. I recently moved to cow country. (Ahem, I mean: cattle country.) HOW do you train a cow? To do what? Why?
