Build with lower level distraction. Go to the yard, the garage, wherever. Get it solid under these lower distractions then do it 5-10 ft away from the car then next to the car. If the dog starts getting excited or stressed them your moving to far, to fast or to much distractions. Go back a bit. Proof for solid compliance with low level distractions to higher level distractions. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

I got confused on if I should use the bridge or yes so I used both If someone could remind me which to use. She pickks up on things so quick its apparent the two legged is the problem, not the four legged, lol. My animals are not "like" family, they ARE family.

If you want her to hold the position until you give a command to enter or exit the car, you would use the IB. The IB is used to encourage the dog to hold the position, so you wouldn't use it as a release as in the situation that Bob previously described. Sadie

Jodi Moen Webboard User Reg: 12-28-2010 Posts: 799 Loc: USA Offline	"Corrected herself" may have been the wrong choice of words. This is what she did, I asked her to sit before getting in the car, she went down, had a paw in the air then started to get up, I started to say "eh" to her (I do this with the horses so it just comes out) before I could finish making the sound (she was looking right at me) she put her paw down, adjusted her bum so that she was also straight, put her bottom flat on the ground and sat like a pro. As soon as she realized her original wasn't right she fixed it herself. Just to add to the story, I decided to take her to one of our favorite but most likely to encounter a dog places today, she had her listening ears on almost the entire walk, even got to meet a person because she was being so good, and when a lady came along with a small barky dog, she barked twice but that was pretty much it, AND totally ignored two dogs in yards! Its like she's becoming a real dog. My animals are not "like" family, they ARE family.

Jodi Moen Webboard User Reg: 12-28-2010 Posts: 799 Loc: USA Offline	I think I'm corrupting the system. I've been using the mark when she sits, then the ib, the release to get in is me saying "in" then the ib when she does it ( she never messes up that one) so I feel I don't need to use the mark on that part, thinking getting in the car itself is the reward. My animals are not "like" family, they ARE family.

Duane Hull Webboard User Reg: 09-23-2011 Posts: 2692 Loc: Marrero, LA Offline	Actually, IMO, she sounds like she knows it well enough that you don't need the markers for "in". That is pbly a command that she knows, and no longer needs a reward (even a release). If you're still training the sit and wait, just use the IB when she sits, then give the command to get in Sadie

Jodi Moen Webboard User Reg: 12-28-2010 Posts: 799 Loc: USA Offline	I just wanted to update, all the sit work in the car has also improved her sit at heel, she is positioning herself in the proper position. Sitting on "in" is pretty much flawless, "out" she still lacks a tiny bit of patience. My animals are not "like" family, they ARE family.
