The "sneeze command" reminded me of the trick I taught one of the Kerry Blues I had.
He was a show dog so he got bathed often.
I kept my hands on him so he wouldn't shake till I was finished.
When I let him go he obviously shook to dry off.
All I did was time it and put a name to it.
This was way before I got into markers yet he still picked it up quick and easy.
He wasn't fond of all the bathing so I believe he connected the dots between the shake command and getting out of the tub also. THAT he looked forward to.
Capturing ANY behavior you want to train is simple enough if the dog does it fairly often and understanding marker training would make it super simple.
When training or just socializing/living YOUR dogs don't crazily OFFER what they have learned?
Some of the things learned are just WAY more of annoying than others XD.
Tanner toppled over backwards about three times in a row trying to offer "both paws"(sit pretty) while I was on the computer. It was very hard to not laugh.
Do you have a defined beginning and ending to your marker training sessions? I say "Get ready" when we're starting and "We're done" when we're finished. That way he knows that he can toss out behaviors as much as he wants to but I'm not looking for anything and I won't be rewarding anything. He also knows "go on" means to stop pestering me and find something to occupy himself.
