You can make your dog training a lot more effective, and a lot more efficient with the effective use and placement of rewards. It does not matter if you are just starting or have been a dog trainer for years, using my pro tips about where and how to place reinforcement will see you get results faster, and supercharge your training sessions.
In the episode you'll hear:
• How every behaviour is a transfer of value.
• What our mechanics have to do with dog training.
• How Bob Bailey’s saying of “reinforcement is a process, not an event” relates to you and your dog.
• Why your dog’s love of roast beef can create a love for any behaviour you train.
• How to define your criteria for what you want your dog to do, using a down as an
example.
• What the thing before the thing has to do with Clever Hans.
• The three vital steps of select, mark, and deliver for you as the dog trainer.
• Why the placement of reinforcement is your secret sauce and how it relates to the proximity to you.
• Why only our dog really knows for sure what we are training.
• When and why to give a release cue to your dog to supercharge your training.

Oh my, opps! I appreciate this podcast very much. I've got to engraft it into my brain!!

Gems: every behaviour is a transfer of value. How are we going to make it more effective / efficient: How is that value lost: gaps, inappropriate placement and inappropriate delivery of reinforcement. Reinforcement is a process, it's not an event. Know what your criteria is before you get into it. Step 1: unemotionally picking out what you want, Step 2: marking it, Step 3: Delivery of reinforcement - fast and efficient, only one cookie in hand at a time, Step 4: the placement of the reinforcement needs to contribute to your goal and finally Step 5: give your release while the dog is still holding the position you've rewarded. Final Gem: our words/releases are as or even more reinforcing than the cookies we are using in our training. From all of the other podcasts I've watched, this is such a great jump off starting point for those who haven't had formal training. I will be sharing this one with family and friends. Thank you again for all that you do.

Excellent! For retriever training, I found training just before feeding sessions have been productive because pup is eager, excited and training is 2-minutes maximum per session. I use kibble on white paper plates to teach retriever lining and casting for blind retrieves, heeling with focus ahead, 2-sided heeling, backwards heeling, etc. 2-minute training becomes a twice a day routine which is 60 training sessions per month with a canine student that is eager to learn.

New puppy owner here! This podcast has the information I’ve been looking for!!! I have read two books and watched hours of dog training you-tube videos, and maybe I’m dense, but it just wasn’t “clicking” for me (ha, get it?). The way you present the information just makes it so much clearer for me. Clarity isn’t just for dogs!! Thank you so much and I just can’t get enough! I only hope I can be the best dog momma my little pup deserves!!

Thank you Susan!! This video and the one on impulse control made a big difference for us today. I can now sit in a "situp" position, with chicken in my hand, and ask my dog to put his two front paws on my knees. Before he would keep going for my hand which was lower than my knees and had trouble stepping up. Now he steps up like a charm and gets his treat while he is up there and the click doesn't end the behavior neither. Also, I have to make a situp to give the treat, so it's training me as well LOL

Thank you Susan for your podcasts! I'm struggling with some work here. I have a 7,5 months puppy (PRT). We started practicing de bases for agility and go to puppy classes. She used to have all eyes on me, but lately if there is someone training/running in any other "training track" besides the one im in (having my puppy classes), she'll go CRAZY and starts running...doesn't care AT ALL if Im there, and dont come back to "work". We tried to ignore, not to call her and leave the track we are in to see if she'd follow us, we've try to go even closer to the other track and work some calmness...she gets suuper anxious...and we dont know what to do :S

Ok. I love learning all this. But now I’m overwhelmed and kind of discouraged. Figuring out when to do what and where is a lot. Right now we’re trying to figure out how to reinforce our high drive dog for not barking out in the back yard. And we can’t walk her for exercise in the neighborhood because we’re training her to walk on leash in the yard - because she barks at other dogs when she’s on leash in the neighborhood. So I’ve got her on the front porch rewarding her quieter responses when others w walk by. All these things before the things is confusing. 😳 19:55

This was sooo helpful! Timing and posture, and mechanics...also never thought of value going away. I have trouble with gap wait, with remembering continuation marker vs release marker, etc. Not to mention placement of reward for different goals.

@deborah1012 Жыл бұрын

I watch your episodes, take notes and watch them over and over to reinforce in MY mind how to do these things. This was super helpful, as are all your videos. My mechanics are slow and all around bad, I have known this for years, and I’m still trying to improve. 🤦‍♀️ I wish I had found you years ago or even a year ago when my husband decided he HAD to have another Aussie. He is the hopeful trainer, so it’s up to me to train Abby. We are working on Crate Games and Home School the Dog. She loves the games! Thank you for all you do to help people like me! 🫶

When you say to train with just one cookie in your hand at a time, does that mean just one piece of a treat? Or can it be like 5 small pieces that will then be delivered one at a time but rapidly as a jackpot? Also, Is it ok to have a handful of treats in the delivery hand? Or is it better to keep the rest of the treats in the pouch or non delivery hand?

@earth2wendy 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for covering this very valuable and interesting topic! It seems to address a question I’ve had about what Bob Bailey meant when he said (and I hope I’m quoting this right), “click for behavior, feed for position.” But I wonder, if Bob Bailey’s dog, when told to ”down,” popped his elbows up between the *click* and the reinforcement, would Bob lure the dog into position before delivering the reinforcer? Does “click for behavior, feed for position” also apply when, for example, teaching a nose-targeting behavior such as “close the door”? I.e. when the door clunks shut, do I *click,* and then deliver the reinforcer at the spot on the door where the dog’s nose should push? I just want to be sure I understand Bob correctly, and that he didn’t mean something else, like “click for behavior, but for duration behaviors, like a stay, just feed, no click.” I’ve been taught not to click a “stay” in the past, because some trainers believe “the click ends the behavior.” I assume you do not see it this way because in your ‘dumbbell retrieve’ scenario, you *click,* and then quickly deliver the reinforcer while the dog is still performing the behavior, i.e. holding the dumbbell. That’s amazing, by the way! Mind blown:)

@Michaelgallant171 3 жыл бұрын

Is treating IN behaviors necessary? Are there any benefits of doing this instead of using a terminal marker only? Mabye the type of behavior is better suited to one or the other? Mabye it is better initially? I am asking because from what I have seen Bob Bailey uses only terminal markers.

@RaptorsGirl 3 жыл бұрын

It is not "necessary" if you are using a conditioned reinforcer however it is a LOT more efficient. While training in behaviour you are increasing the reinforcement value of THAT position.

@DogsThat 2 жыл бұрын

Hi @Jozee Pare "get it" and "search" are release words, so that is a great start. Another release (we use "break"), adds to our dog's clarity. We have a new video all about training stays that will help with the release: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbSeodKisci4qp8.html

Hmmm...bottom line: train yourself on the mechanics before you train the dog. Go slowly until you master the mechanics. Its very hard to re-learn and break your bad habits, and even worse trying to do that for your dog.
