lovely video.I see the dog is young and thought it quite impressive that the dog remained focused even when another dog walked by outside the gate and also no sign of nervousness when the bird flew over.I am sure we all do things differently but I think you will achieve your goals if you continue to practice everyday and as time goes by I think you will soon have no need for treats or any verbal commands keep accompanying your verbal commands with hand signals and I am sure that is all you will need in the future.
hey ram , behaviour is looking good , but remember " yes " is also the release , as in , " i like what you did at that moment , heres' your reward , you did what i wanted and you can stop doing it "
use " good " ( or other ) to mark and reward duration , as in , " i like what you are doing , keep doing it " .
second point : ME advises against combining praise and command " good fuss " as it confuses and diminishes the effect and power of each individual word . . . one is the command , the other is praise .
