I am going to teach Laddy to "go home". My end goal is to be able to drive away and have him not follow the car. "Home" will be the front porch.
I am going to video tape this with my IPad today. Then we'll see how to post it.

Round One was "anything marker trained."
The parameters are still marker training, but for this one:
"A broad category of scent discrimination or place/item recognition .... so examples might be finding and retrieving an object, going to a specific place and staying there, indicating an object, word recognition type games, etc. "

Here we are, mid-October, time to begin our second round, and time to post your stated goal and a short clip if applicable of the present non-compliance (or problem, if goal is based on solving an existing problem).
Make your goal-statement post here any time between now and midnight 10/23/13.
The deadline for your actual finished clip (your entry!) will be midnight 11/19/13.
Good luck to everyone!
Here is some clarification/update on the first short clip ... the one of "where we started."
If your goal is to correct an existing problem, then yes, a short clip of that would be good with your signup.
But for a new behavior, it was pointed out to me in more than one PM ( ), then including your first training session along with your final submission would be just great.
All it is, is showing "we started here and we got to here." Whatever is your easiest way is
just fine.
Please don't let lack of a pre-training video clip keep you from signing up here with your stated goal!
Not sure if I should make a separate post or not, but here is my first video trying to teach Carlin the name of his "frog." I will also make one for his "hoof" and his "ball," and my final video will show him picking out each of them from a lineup of all three (hopefully).
It is amazing how many handler errors one can see when they video their training! It is also hard to create a mini event with food when one hand is holding the camera!

Good goal! It will be fun to teach him to pick each one from a lineup of several. :-)
You might put the camera on a stool or chair and check out where you must be to be in the viewfinder.
Oz- 14 year old Patterdale- Working with him detecting rodent scents. The goal is to have him enter a den following a scent of a rodent.
Lexi- 11 year old Papillon- She will be doing the same as, Oz. I will not be using scents from my critters initially. I will add a scent for Lexi, from one of our critters, and have her find it.
Goal for Lexi- Following a rodent scent, entering a den, finding one of our own lost critters, alerting to her find.
