Ok so i did not follow her, i went to click every step again, but had her come to me in the "contact of agility position" on the stairs for the treat (put the treat on a lid on the floor(im killing two birds with a stone here ). We went from stoping at 3 steps, now we are on five. Tomorrow im recording and uploading.
She stills shut down, but its my fault for expecting too much of her too soon. Im working on that.
With Havanna is a bit more tricky, she still "thinks" that she needs to lay down and lick the nose for the click to happen , and im not that fast D:
I guess that the nose licking was a bit over my skill, still i will work on that to see what happens.
"She stills shut down, but its my fault for expecting too much of her too soon. Im working on that".
My primary problem with Trooper! Waaay to soft for my liking but he's a huge people pleaser.
I mentioned it in another post how I tried Thunder on this same exercise. Both dogs know "backup" as far as moving back so I can open the gate. I put Thunder in the chute and by the third time he was backing the length of it. Were it not for his hips He would be my go to dog for this.
Bottom line
I NEED to get past my dislike of working with a soft dog. Trooper is a joy when just having fun and this is getting that back.
With sookie i first lure one or two steps back, clicking ALL the movements she does, when she does the third step i fade the lure and wait a sec for any movement she has to offer and start with that.
When she does one or two steps back i click for every step inested of every movement. And in my case went to the stairs and return to click for any back movement,i really need to take things really slow with her, any jump and she shuts down and stare at me like "what did i do, momma?". Its difficult because havanna is all the way around....
What do you want to teach? Maybe we can help
My late Missy was incredibly intelligent and would learn thing after a half dozen repetitions. It was amazing. But she was also super. soft. She loved to learn and please but if she thought she was getting things wrong she would shut down quick. She was an uncanny learner but it was a delicate balance to actually teach her anything. Several times she'd watch me teach Kipp and learn what I was teaching him.
Hmm I would try to capture it maybe 4 or so times.
Then I would grab the dog and get him near the faucet and click every movement toward it. Jackpot if he touches. And then just click for more
Tammy, what sort of faucet do you have? Push/pull?
He obviously found out ho to turn it on by mistake. Maybe a nudge with his nose? Could you put a very short rope on it to pull it back off?

Bob- He has turned on the faucet in two of the bathrooms, both have dual handles. He uses his left paw( paw diagonal across the sink,right,cold water) and pulls the
handle forward.
Milanka, When I did that video I was hoping he would do it so I could film it, instead he was just sit/down, sit/down, we were bored in there.
The first time was defiantly a mistake, but he has figured out hitting that with his paw gets him water. Training him to shut it off would be easier with the nose.
Good point on the rope, that or attach a small block to the handle, have him push the handle back toward the wall.
