In this video we move from using the double platform setup to the single platform setup (which she wasn't able to do at the beginning of training this skill). Again, training is just putting in the reps so feel free to watch this on 1.5 speed. And remember, be generous. The more generous with your reinforcement you are, the quicker you'll get the behavior you're looking for.

And stay tuned for session 3. It's a big one!!!

I love this! The thing I’m getting out of these the most is how far back you go when she messes up. It’s not just a matter of doing it over again but many times you go back a step or two with your commands. I hadn’t considered that before. I can see how that would rebuild the dogs confidence as it preforms a command that it second nature. I hadn’t considered that. Of course my guy doesn’t have any layering to his training yet but it’ll help me train when he does. That’s good stuff right there!

This is exactly right Patrick! I always go back a step or two to where they were successful. My first assumption any time a dog is unsuccessful with a behavior is that I have not trained them to fluency yet. It's always "what have I missed or not communicated effectively to my dog". They can only do what I have taught them, and if they aren't capable of doing it, it means I haven't actually taught it to them. I want them to feel successful. It's my job to make them successful. Really good observation!

I agree with Patrick, seeing the "mistakes" and how you deal with that was really insightful. I also felt like the layering and how you broke everything down is starting to be the through line of this series. Extremely valuable for us to see. Thank you for sharing!

And it just hit me after I wrote the above comment about how those two things interact. With laying we can clearly see where the dog is struggling, giving us humans more visibility. AND when there is a misunderstanding we can take smaller steps back as well as break each step down to even smaller pieces to help improve understanding going forward. I always understood layering being helpful for communication and understanding, but that kind of rewind (going back to a previous step) and play forward in slow motion (adding more layers) "fix" is my insight here I think. Again, thank you for sharing!
