Teaching our dogs multiple reward cues based on reward placement can help improve our obedience training by allowing the dog to have a clear understanding of where they should be looking for their reward. If your release to reward (aka terminal bridge or conditioned reinforcer) is limited by one word (“Yes” in most cases), your dog has the potential to get confused when you place the reward somewhere they're not expecting it. This week Ryan breaks down three commonly used reward placements and briefly discusses how to cue each. Next week, Ryan will begin to show the dog how distinguish between the different reward placements and how we might be able to incorporate them in our training.
