Try It Tuesday

At least once a month I will post a conditioning challenge for you to try. This will be a challenge that at least one of my dogs does not know, so I will continuously update the original post with videos of my dogs learning. 

The first challenge is holding an object while in a 'sit pretty' position. I am going to break it down into 2 behaviors, the sit pretty and holding an object and then put them together. Here is a video from Silvia Trkman so you can see what the end behavior looks like.

Happy training!

Here's video of Brink working on the Sit Pretty behavior. I call it Beg. I find that luring this behavior provides better balance than free shaping, and because we need to build the duration of this exercise, the dogs must be able to balance and have a strong core. For the dogs that struggle with this, I have also found putting them on an elevated surface helps. So, for my young dog, I have been teaching her on an ottoman. 
In the video, I am working on building duration by delaying the click.

Trying things out is the first step in achieving things. If you just keep doing the things that you are already good at, then you will miss out on a lot of things. I mean, just imagine if Michael Jordan never played sports because he was already good at studying. I think that we can all learn a lot from trying out new things. I suggest that we try as many things as we possibly can, that is my opinion on things.
