Those ideas sound great. Was out with the pups last night and Diesel will atleast attempt to get the treat (and I have to bend over for him) but Athena kept dropping them and then wanting to hunt it down in the snow. LOL We are an accident waiting to happen. Then per the one post - she got a little excited and grabbed my entire hand to get the treat!
Squeeze tubes: Clean Run has them, or you can find them by Googling "Coghlan's Squeeze Tubes"
Yep...
I got mine at Clean Run. They work great, but with my slobbery dogs, they were very messy at the end of the training session. I used Peanut Butter, and the canned tripe from PetCo. My clips for the back broke after a few fillings...

Squeeze tube- great idea. My hands were frozen during this morning's ski from hunting around in my pockets for treats and having to take off gloves and poles...the dogs only wait so long after the yes but they were patient. What about that gross fake cheese that comes in a can- I think called cheez whiz?

I know that KONG makes a treat fill doggy cheese wiz...I wonder if that would work? I say that since I don't actually know what's in cheese wiz and if it's safe (there is no cheese...I refuse to believe it)
When the butt hits the ground is when you would mark ... or maybe I'm misunderstanding. Are you using "good sit" rather than a repeated syllable as an intermediate bridge for adding duration?
Is this a bad thing, Connie? While I am clear and sharp with the mark/reward, I have been using 'good' or 'good, <command>' for duration events to let the dog know he's on the path to the mark. With some longer events, I start out using it more often and taper off as he starts to get it (the goal being not needing duration signals at the end). He seems to understand it pretty well but I could be overlooking something or be underinformed.
