Hey Ya'll - I deleted my last post because I accidentally posted the video for Thursday that I didn't finish editing yet instead of the replay. Whoops! Like I said, I'm sick and my brain is a bit fried LOL!

I'll finish up edits on that and get it to you tomorrow night!

In the meantime, here's the March replay ...

Topic covered include:

Is there anything I can't teach a young puppy?

Keeping Skills Sharp for Intermittent Service Dog Use

Adolescent Dog Behavior Regression

Increasing Food/Toy Drive

After we wrapped, I forgot that I had a short video of using "life rewards" as reinforcement once the dog had the skill, so once my voice is better I will try to voiceover that and post it as an addendum to my discussion of reinforcement.

Reinforcement can really be its own giant topic, so know that what i covered today was just some of the things you can try!

Happy Training everyone!

How did you find out the dog had gastro issues? What were some of the other symptoms outside of lack of food drive?

Thanks for keeping the zoom today with your illness. Feel better. We tried today and she nose booped the flag with movement added. Now onto drawers bc maybe it she was bored playing flag so much like you said. Thanks again for the sound advice on this topic.

Thank you for explaining building food drive/toy drive so well. We've been working on it based on your suggestions and I've seen some slow improvement (I need to be patient!). My SD is a 4.5 yr old standard poodle at a very good weight. I've been working with him since he was 10 weeks old, but unfortunately had not realized how much his low interest in food/treats has affected working together. (He was "that puppy" in the puppy K class that didn't care at all about taking the food when playing "It's Yer Choice".) His nose boop is barely a touch, and that's the best I've been able to get from him at any time. I'm trying to just work with the dog I have and bring out the best in both of us.

It's definitely a challenge, and poodles are known for being naturally a bit less food motivated. Slow and steady! And in the meantime, identify other things he finds rewarding and use those as reinforcers for known behaviors.

Do you have a video or lesson on how to have your dog watch your six in stores and how to circle? I need to teach my dog these tasks but can’t find a lesson on these tasks I seen you display in a video. Don’t know how to contact you. Hope this post is ok.

You had said something in this post you deleted about teach puppies to hand target and to foot target. I was just curious by what you meant by this example. You deleted the video from here but it came up on YouTube. You also told me to go here for you to answer my questions but am I misunderstanding there is no video here?!
