Randy pointed out an important detail. The release. Its a big part of the reward and the anticipation of being released is helpful in keeping his focus on you.
It's not really a long jump Debbie.
You use marks to teach the dog the behavior. Once you know he knows, (let's say) he must sit until you release him. Now you can hook the leash on the pinch. he breaks the sit, nay...sit.
Good dog!
So now, he sits for you until you release to toilet paper the house.
So now he downs for you until you release him to kill the strange cat.
See? No problem, it's easy.
Thanks for the laugh! And simplifying things! The release is definitely key. I always put Benny in a down while preparing his food. And now when he sees me pick up his bowl he immediately lays down. I tell him "wait" when I set the bowl of raw food on the floor his focus on me is incredible! Then I release with an OK and he goes from 0 - 60 to that bowl.
The same thing happens when I come home and he is like the Tazmanian devil wanting out of the crate. I just look at him and he goes down. I tell him wait as I open the door and if he starts to rush out I close the door again. He will wait with the door wide open until I say "OK" He then he leaps out, runs circles around me, jumping on my grabbing toys. It is an attack of the playzies!
