hey guys nate shomer here and i have this amazing german shepherd puppy named harley we're going to be training her to be a service dog this is going to be approximately a six to nine month program so one of the first things you want to keep in mind is having the proper training equipment the basics that you want to have as a collar you can have a flat nylon collar like this one that she has on or you can also use a martingale collar those are very good tools to use for training as well and then a basic leash i like to use a simple nylon thin leash it's light easy to use very effective you don't need one of those big heavy chains or something like that just something very light and very simple and then also some sort of training vest or maybe one of those training pouches that you can wear on your waist to use to hold your training treats when working with your young pup so the first thing that i like to do when i start the training with a puppy is what is known as marker training or loading the dog to the marker also known as engagement training what this is we're going to teach her that a certain sound means she's going to get a reward there's going to be two sounds that i'm going to be using one is going to be yes and the other one is going to be free so when i say yes that means she's correct and she's going to get a reward but i have to bring it to her in place this is what's known as a continuation marker then we also have what's known as a terminal marker the word i'm going to be using is the word free now don't get confused by the dictionary definition of the word free when i tell her free it doesn't mean free go do whatever you want it means you're correct come get your reward the technical terminology for this is known as a condition reinforcer so primary reinforcer is food toy or affection a condition reinforcer predicts the primary this comes from the studies that were conducted by evon pavlov the russian psychologist basically he had a sound that would go off prior to the food being delivered to the dogs and after a certain amount of repetitions when the dogs heard the click they would begin to salivate and that's what he called classical conditioning but if you think about it all he really did was he renamed a word and the word that he renamed was predictability because he did further studies if the sound went off while the food was being delivered or the sound went off while the dogs were eating they never became classically conditioned to the sound the sound had to precede the delivery of the reward by a split second so you're going to see all i'm going to do in this exercise is i'm going to get her attention when she looks at me i'm going to use my marker the yes or the free and i'm gonna deliver the reward so she can become conditioned to the sound so let's go ahead and jump right into it i'm gonna set her down and i'm gonna let her know i have the food right now i don't need the leash i'm just gonna be using the food and i'm gonna get her to look up yes then i reward notice there is a slight pause between yes and the delivery of the reward same thing with the other word free then i move back encouraging her to come and get the treat when she looks at me again yes i reward i don't have to wait for her to look at me for a long free for a long period of time i want her to look up at me yes boom and get the reward this should be fun and it should be engaging free then i move back again notice how i'm saying yes before i move and i'm saying free before i move so this is how it looks yes if i'm training a young puppy free without explaining what i'm doing so i'm just gonna start training her good girl yes very nice free good girl that's very good this way that's a toy yes good girl free very nice so right there she wasn't looking i messed up but it's okay she didn't mess up i did yes good girl free very nice good job yes excellent free also notice i'm switching hands good girl yes free very nice and i will continue to do this exercise until she becomes conditioned to the sound now it's very simple to find out if the dog is conditioned to the sound meaning they know that the sound is going to predict a reward the way that i test this out is i get the dog in front of me i say the marker sound in this case the yes or the free and i wait to see if there's a change of behavior if the dog gives me a blank stare then they're not conditioned but if the dog looks at me and does one of four things licking their lips salivating opening their mouth or moving their paws that shows me that they know they are about to get a reward and they are conditioned to that sound and we can now use this sound within our training to help communicate more clearly what it is that what we want and what we expect from our dog and this would be the same as clicker training so if you want to use a clicker you can use a clicker all it is is simply a sound that you're going to use to pinpoint a moment in time when your dog is correct and it's that simple today i'm going to introduce you guys to my second step of dog training but i'm going to start with simple behaviors we're going to teach the puppy how to lure so we're going to teach her how to follow the food in my hand then we're going to use that to start showing her the sick command the down command come when called even our stand command maybe heel position but what we're going to do is we're going to use the food to manipulate her into the positions we want her to perform once she performs the behavior we're going to mark that behavior with our yes or our free and then we're going to give her a piece of food encouraging her to repeat this behavior when i'm doing this step in the training i'm not saying the name of the command i'm simply giving her a physical cue that's going to get her to perform the behavior once she performs the behavior i'm going to mark and reward so it should look something like this all right so what i want to do is i want to get her to understand the concept of luring and that's getting her to follow the food that's in my hand in order to get access to the reward so yes when she pushes into my hand i'm saying yes and then i'm rewarding her yes and then i release the food good girl fix her ear yes very nice good job sweetie i can switch hands yes excellent yes good girl very nice yes good and then as they get better at it you can make them work a little bit harder in order to get the reward and again this is what i like to call power steering because we can guide the dome into any position that we want simply by using this concept of luring i can lure her into the down position i can lure her up into the sit position i can get her to come towards me and sit down i can get her to spin in the circle or to go in between my legs and walk there and all i'm doing is i'm giving her a physical cue by using luring getting her to get into the positions that i want her to perform and once she's in the position i mark and reward now i'm going to go over each position in a little bit more detail but this is the basic concept of luring get them to understand that pushing into the hand and moving forward is going to get them access to the reward build up their confidence so then when they are trying to do behaviors that are a little bit more complicated it ends up being easy for them because they're willing to work in order to get access to that reward all right guys so what i want to go over in this video is how i'm going to be teaching her the sick command using the luring and we're going to use both markers so i want you to see how i use the continuation marker during this step and how i use the terminal marker the terminal marker adds a lot of value when we're doing this because it teaches our puppy or our dog the faster they do the behavior the faster they're going to be released and they're going to get the reward when we're working with a dog speed is based on motivation the more motivated the dog is the faster they move if you think about a dog playing fetch they always run to get the ball because they're motivated and they're excited so we want to make sure the training is fun and you're going to see that the terminal marker is really going to help speed up the command and it's going to make the training enjoyable so let me show you how we're gonna do that come here fluffy good girl harley so i'm gonna take the food and i'm gonna lift up yes the moment her butt hits the ground i'm gonna give her the food yes good girl and i'm not worried about her staying in the position yes very nice so you see when i say yes i bring it to her let's see how it looks when i use the terminal marker free good girl very good free excellent very nice free good girl so watch her butt when her butt hits the ground that's when i'm staying my marker free excellent good girl again making sure you switch hands you don't always want to use three the same hand because then your dog will focus just on that one hand free and even though she's getting the reward when she gets up it's the act of free sitting that is getting her axes free to that reward good girl very nice and we can even mix it up we can go yes we can do yes bad handling with the food there comes me very nice yes yes come on baby yes good girl and that's going to be step two when i'm teaching my dog or teaching her the sick command i'm simply lifting up my hand her nose goes up her butt goes down when her butt hits the ground i say yes then i give her the food and that's going to be how we're going to shape the sick command again using gloria today i'm going to be showing you guys how we're going to teach the down command using luring it's going to be very similar to how we started teaching the sick command but one of the things you want to be aware of is how you bring your hand to the ground one of the common mistakes that people make is they'll bring their hand down to the ground the dog is trying to get the food and they move their hand away as the dog is trying to get the food you want to move it straight down and what else i do is i create a little cave with my hand by how i hold the food so i bring it down you see how i'm creating a cave by turning my hand the dog's nose has to go underneath the palm of my hand in order to get to the food which makes him lay down just like she's doing so again we go straight down yes once she gets into position we mark and we reward and right now since she's coming back up into the set i can reward that as well yes good girl so let's see how it looks when i get her moving around and i like to to bring my hands straight down yes good girl very nice yes excellent good and i could also say free very good good job come on baby very good excellent for this one i prefer to use yes yes because she can jump right up anyways if she wants to yes or i can bring her again back up into the yes the sit position and go right back into the down yes when i'm working with a puppy yes i like to use meal time yes as an opportunity to train the key things you want to keep in mind is once she gets in a position yes that's what we mark the behavior i'm watching her elbows touch the ground if for some reason the dog's back end goes up i'm going to wait till that butt goes down yes mark and reward now as i was saying before in the previous video some dogs will go down like this yes but their butt won't go down right away so what i'll do is i will reward them for attempting until that butt goes down then i'll give them whatever's left in my hand so i'm showing them i'm going to reward you here put in the effort but what we really want is we want you to lay all the way down if you have a dog with a lower level of perseverance you don't want them to quit because they're not getting access to that reward yes and she's figuring this out very very quickly she's a smart little dog yes you're going to see though the way that you handle the food is going to make a really big difference on how easy or how difficult it is for your dog to figure out what it is you want them to perform but this is going to be using our luring cube to get our dog to go into the down command without using the verbal command down we're simply giving a physical cue once she performs a behavior mark [Music] all right today we're going to be going over three commands that i'm going to be showing her they're really simple so that's why we're going to put all three in one video one's going to be the climb command it's a place that we want our dog to go i call it climb some people call it place some people call it up really doesn't matter what you call it but it's just going to be an elevated position where we want our dog to go and we want them to maintain that position then i'm going to teach her spin so it's a simple command they spin in a circle some of you may have seen my dog ari perform this it's a fun command they usually enjoy it and then the last one is going to be center where she goes between my legs and maintains that position so let me show you how it's done again we're still in the early stages so we're marking every behavior we're rewarding every behavior and we're not worried about the command just yet we want her to have fun and make it a good time all right here we go and she's going no not going to the camera all right come here harley harley good girl so for the climb we're going to guide her on yes mark and reward and we could also use this as an opportunity to teach the off command so we guide her off yes we give her a reward now we're going to throw on the spin we bring their head around making a full rotation now some of you guys if you have a dog that doesn't have as much perseverance meaning they give up quickly you may have to reward them when they're partially uh through the exercise so you might have to go yes and reward there you might have to go a little farther yes and reward there because you build on success and then she goes all the way around yes and then we reward her again we want to build on success if you're trying if you do this and the dog gives up then you need to give them those wins so they know that if they continue to persevere they'll be able to get access to the reward so again these are all very simple i'm cupping the food in my hand i'm guiding her to the position that i want her to be in once she's in that position we mark and we reward at the completion of the behavior and then for the center command this one i want you to know what i'm doing with my hands i have food in each hand but she's not gonna get the food that's in the right hand i'm simply gonna use that to guide her around into position and i'm gonna transfer her over to the left hand so here we go i'm gonna show her the food come here you right here she's distracted she's got something in her mouth what you got in your mouth there there you go she dropped it a piece of grass or something okay so she's going for this food come on add puffy all right i got her around boom transfer her over the food's still in this hand and i got her in the center where i want her giving her those rewards so now let's see what it looks like if i were to just be training and not i'm not going to be explaining what i'm doing right now i'm just going to train her so you can see what it looks like each time she doesn't get access to the reward until after i say the marker sound so here we go come on baby yes good girl very nice yes excellent way to go yes good girl that's my good girl yes good girl maybe make her walk a little bit very nice that's a good girl get her to come back we'll do another little here we go i'm right here i got the food there we go do another spin yes good girl very nice yes excellent yes good girl that's very nice yes excellent and it's something that i can incorporate later when we start doing the heel position we can throw in that little spin it's really cute the dogs like it it's a good release from you know an obedience routine that might be more strict and not as engaging if you're training or you're working with a puppy really young like she is ten ten and a half weeks somewhere around there you wanna make it as fun as possible you want them to have a good time and you want to end the session when they're still having fun you don't want to end the session when they're getting bored you want them when the session's over you want them excited about it you want them motivated the next time you bring them out so when you bring them out the train they're ready to rock and roll if they're ready to have a good time and they're going to learn much faster because of that all right i'll talk to you guys later [Music] okay guys today i'm going to be introducing the place command and for me the place command is a bowl you can see in the back a bowl that i place upside down and my goal or my intentions are to get her to place her front paws on the bowl and what i'm going to do after that when she understands it a little bit more she's never done it so we'll see how she responds and i'm gonna guide her and do the best i can to lure her with the food to get her onto the position some dogs this may be a little bit more difficult some it's easier we'll see how she is and then once she understands that concept some of the future goals is to get her to pivot her back end while maintaining her paws on the bowl this helps a dog with that rear end awareness so they know that their back end is something that they can manipulate without moving the front end and this will help help when we're teaching her to flip into heel position and really again have that awareness of her own body so let's go ahead and do that we can also use this as a target for different exercises later on so i'm going to bring it over and let's see we can get her to put her paws on the front of the bowl yes good girl very nice yes so she's an easy one that's good and i'm going to keep rewarding her for keeping her paws on there very good that's good good girl very good you're such a smart girl aren't you now i'm gonna have her come off because i want her to get those paws back on so we can repeat the exercise yes very nice so she's a very easy dog to teach this to i've had some other dogs where they do everything in their power to avoid the bull and that could be a little bit of a struggle but she just places her paws right on it which is very cool let's go back this way sweetie and back this way let's get those paws on there yes good girl yes see if i can get her to maintain it yes by spacing out the markers yes very good yes excellent and if the bowl's too small that's gonna make it more difficult so i like to use a bowl like this one this is a basic metal bowl made by kong so it has the rubber on the top and that makes it easier for the dogs to have a little bit of traction with their paws the full metal bowls are a little bit more difficult for them i know trainers that will also use horse bowls big horse bowls to start out again a bigger target's going to be a little bit easier and the horse bowls are made out of rubber as well so it's easier for the dogs to maintain that position with their paws so let's bring her around and get her to put her paws back on it since she's doing so well i'm gonna see if i can get her to pivot that back end so i'm gonna get her paws on there good girl very nice cupping the food in my hand and i'm gonna turn yes good girl so she's turning her back in already very nice yes good you see that that is awesome that's exactly what i want good girl let's see if we can get that back in the pivot yes good girl and we're gonna take her back the other way all right here we go you ready harley let's see if we can go the other way don't get too bored come on here we go here we go come on you can do it yes good girl very good come on can we get another step yes excellent so that's exactly what i want that's a good session for there and you can see how this is going to advance later on to where she understands that when she's in a sit-front position i can say heal and she'll be able to flip her back end right in the heel position with very nice beautiful precision even though i'm training her to be a service dog that precision is still really nice and it will help with the training and lastly a lot of the stuff that i'm going to be teaching her it's for instructional purposes only i want you guys to know how to teach it so for example we're going to be teaching her scent detection as well she's not going to be a diabetic alert dog but it is something that you would need to know how to do if you were to train a diabetic alert dog so we're going to be throwing in some really cool things to help teach you guys a little bit more how to train your own service dogs or how to train a service dog for somebody that you know alright guys i'll talk to you later see in the next video [Music] hey guys nate schumer here in today's video we're going to be going over the hand touch it's a very simple exercise all i want her to do is to understand that when i tell her to touch that she's going to touch my hand with her muzzle the way that i'm going to start this is i'm going to take a piece of food and i'm going to put it between my two middle fingers on my hand that's where i'm going to hold it i'm going to give her the picture let her see it and then let her gain access to the food once she understands that concept then i'm going to add the command the command is going to be touch i know you're excited so when we start adding the command when we're trying to let a dog know that they're doing the behavior correctly we have to give them a reward within a second of them doing that behavior at least when we're teaching them so we have the primary reinforcers and we have the condition reinforces the primary is the food toy or the affection the condition reinforcer is going to be our markers since she is getting access to the food right away i don't have to use the marker for this step but once i remove the food and i want her to touch my hand without the food being there then i will be using the marker so you're gonna see each step it's pretty simple all right so let's get started she's pretty excited to be out here so we're gonna take a piece of food place it between the two middle fingers of my hand and then let her get access to it so i'm gonna do it again show her the picture boom very easy ever come back the other way excellent and then back the other way good girl very nice very good so like i said it's a very simple concept so now that she's taking the food from the hand i'm going to start naming it so i'm going to say touch then i'm going to present and she gets the food put it in my other hand touch then i present making sure we say the verbal before the physical touch then the cue good girl touch then the cue very nice excellent so this is what i was talking about before touch where she's getting instant access to the reward for doing the behavior so i don't have to use the marker during the step harley touch good girl very nice and i can add verbal praise touch so now that she's going back and forth and she's doing this pretty easily i can now remove the food from the hand and then reward her from the opposite hand after i mark the behavior so i'm trying to get her to understand the picture of touching my hand whether or not there's food there so let's get started touch yes good and then i reward her right away with my other hand touch yes good very nice excellent touch yes good girl so you see now she's touching my hand with her muzzle touch yes and then i give her the food so now again there is no boost there is no food in my hand touch yes very good excellent touch yes good girl yes very good so there's going to be a few applications that we're going to use this in future training it's fun for the dog i like to use it as a release this is also known as a power up but it's something that we can use to help teach other behaviors such as turning on and off the light switch so you guys will see in future videos how we're going to do that but again very simple concept start with the physical cue have the food in your hand get your dog to get access to it have them understand that behavior name the behavior and then last get them to do it without the food in your hand again very simple technique but it adds a lot of value later on in our training alright i hope you guys enjoyed this video make sure you click that like button leave a comment and we'll see you in the next one [Music] okay guys today i'm going to be introducing the stand command it's really simple we're still going to be using luring i'm going to take the food and i'm going to tuck it underneath towards her chest hoping that will get her to spring her back end up once she gets in position i'm going to mark and reward again during this step i'm not worried about naming the command i just want to be able to present a physical cue that's going to get her to perform the behavior every single time if she doesn't pop up the back end then i'm simply going to help with my hand to show her that i want her backing to pop up and you'll see exactly what i mean it's pretty simple so i'm going to get the food and i'm going to get her over here come here sweetie very good so she's sitting right now oops i dropped the food no big deal and now i'm going to take the food again tucking it towards her chest hoping to get her back in the pop-up yes just like that very good very good yes and i'll reward her for the si as well it's still early in her training yes so i'm rewarding every single behavior yeah oh yes we'll throw it down in there as well and we'll see if we can get her to pop back up using the food the luring oh there was a noise no big deal yes good girl it's not gonna be perfect in the beginning but we're not worried about perfection just yet yes good girl come on baby you can do it yes good very nice so i'm not having to help her which is really good but if i was to help her if she was having a hard time and the back end wasn't popping up i would just use my hand and just provide that little extra bit of assistance to give her more of a clear path of what i want her to do and she's very food motivated which helps a lot yes good girl so again you see how i'm marking the behavior once the back end pops up and if you've seen my other two videos for the sit what we're doing is we're lifting up to get the dog to sit remember where the nose goes the butt does the opposite and for the down we're simply bringing our hands straight down creating a little cave for the dog's nose to go underneath which in turn will bring the back and down since they have to stick their nose underneath the little cave that you're making with your hand so now since we have the stand added into the dog's repertoire we can start using all three so while i'm training her i could throw in the sit yes i could throw in the stand yes throwing the down yes good girl and that's going to be something that i'm going to add when i'm doing the training when i'm training a dog i don't just do one session and do one simple command over and over again i try to teach him everything in the very beginning especially this is her imprinting stage where what she learns during this time she will hold for the rest of her life so i want to make sure she enjoys the training we're having a lot of fun it's very engaging so when she's older and she enjoys the training it's going to make it much easier to teach her new behaviors and more complex behaviors so again one more time bring it to her chest kind of guide her move her around a little bit till we get that back in to pop up yes oh went back down no big deal yes once it gets back up we mark we reward we give her a treat and when it's really good and she knows that this is the cue to pop that back end up then we'll go ahead and we'll name the command but this is all we're gonna do for now alright so i hope you guys like the video make sure you leave a comment below and i'll see you on the next one [Music] all right in this video i want to start introducing her to the heel position i'm just going to guide her over to the heel position as well as introducing her to the sit front position i want to get some precision it doesn't have to be perfect but i want to get it in the general area if you're doing competition obedience a perfect sip front is going to be directly in front of you center the dog as close to you as possible without touching you and then heel position depending on what sport you would be doing for example akc they want the dog as close to you as possible and they want the paws aligned with the balls of your feet and again some sports might vary a little bit i don't need it to be perfect with her but we're going to get pretty close and i'm going to show you the body language that i'm going to be using and how i'm going to be luring her to each position again the sit front and then the heel position all right so let's get started i'm going to get the food out show her that i have the food so for the sit front all i'm doing is i'm bringing my hand down directly centered to my body and then when she gets close i lift up and then i reward so she's a little crooked there again i'm not too worried about it being completely straight for for a service dog but that's not too bad and then for the heel what i want to do is i want to step back with my left leg guide her around circle her head inward and then reward her now having your dog circle their head inward is very important for this exercise because if you circle their head outwards then that's going to become the default movement that they do and you're not going to have that really pretty rotation of the back end coming into heel position like that because we want when they fully understand the heel position we want them to flip their body it's called a flip finish into the heel position so again their head comes inward i step back giving her some room and i can even reinforce the position a little bit more by walking forward and rewarding her now for the sit front when she's in heel position i'm stepping forward now with the left leg guiding her around my leg and back into the sit front position there she was a little bit too crooked that's a little better all right let's guide her again stepping back with that left leg circling her around in the position yes mark and reward got her let's walk a little bit forward yes good girl a little bit more yes very nice i said that marker a little early and she's way crooked there but that's okay if you make one mistake it's not gonna ruin the dog i've had people stress out because they reward the dog when the dog wasn't doing it correctly and they're concerned that they're gonna mess up the training one mistake is not gonna mess it up so don't stress out too much have fun with it yes like there she's a little crooked again i'm not too concerned stepping back with that left leg circling her around back forward into heel position marking and rewarding and now since we taught her a lot of those other behaviors we can incorporate those as well in with this exercise so we can throw that spin in there we can throw the sit we can bring her into the down we can pop her back up into the stand position bring her to the sit front over here a little crooked i want to reward here's another detail when you are doing the sit front position i like to keep my hand really close to my body and then i drop my hand down to reward them reward placement is something you want to keep in mind if i have my dog sit and i'm trying to do a sit front and i reward her this far away then there's no reason for her to come nice and close into position so i want to bring my hand up and then reward her closer to my body same thing with the heel position i like to reward them when their head is upward so they get used to keeping their head up looking up at me if i wanted to start working on a focused heel to where she walks and she looks at me the whole time and maintains that eye contact that's going to be something you'll see in a lot of competition obedience again not really necessary for a service dog i enjoy teaching it though so we're going to work on a focus here with her it may not be perfect but we're going to have some fun with it alright i hope you guys like this video make sure you leave a comment make sure you share the video and thanks again [Music] hey guys nate shomer here in today's video we're gonna start teaching our puppies how to walk backwards so it's a very simple concept what i do is when i want the dog to come towards me i open my hand encouraging them to come to me to get the reward when i want them to walk backwards i close my hand into a fist and i walk towards a dog when we're first starting this we don't expect the dog to just completely walk backwards all we want to do is we want to be able to get one step and then as the dog gets better we're going to add more steps to the backwards walk this helps them with their rear end awareness but it's also going to help her as far as understanding how to use her body when we start doing more complicated service dog tasks so let's go ahead and jump right in so i'm going to grab the food get her attention i'll go ahead and reward her and so now all i'm going to do is i'm going to close my hand i will walk towards her yes and when i see her take those steps backwards yes i mark and i reward yes good girl so i can get her to come back to me and then let's go ahead and get her to walk backwards again yes very nice good job harley yes good yes a common issue that people run into when they're trying to do this exercise is the dog may try to sit down yes what she is not doing it's making it much easier but if your dog does sit down just be patient with it and try to move your hand manipulate your hand to get the dog to do the behavior remember this is our power steering we get the dog to really understand the concept of following our hand we can use that to manipulate the position wherever we want the dog to be it's no different for this so if i'm trying to get just like the stan commando i'm bringing the food down i'm trying to get her to pop her back end up at first if she doesn't do it right away we just really have to work it to get the dog to understand it and then we mark and reward so again we close our hands we walk towards our dog we get those backwards steps yes we reward good girl get those backwards steps yes reward yes reward very nice yes good girl so once we get the dog doing it every single time and you get them presenting the picture or they're doing it exactly the way you would like them to do it then you go ahead and you name the command just like every other command we make sure that we say the verbal command before the physical cue so if i wanted to tell her back up or walk backwards whatever we want the command to be i can say back up then i do the cue so there she's sitting there yes reward good girl back up then the queue yes reward excellent very nice back up yes good girl try one more back up [Music] we got sirens in the background look so now she's really walking a nice distance backwards and we'll continue to say the name of the command before the physical cue up into the point where our dog beats us to the behavior so you say back up boom my dog's walking backwards now without the help of the physical cue this is definitely an exercise i recommend teaching your dogs even if your dog is not a service dog it's still a good exercise it's really fun and you'll definitely be able to impress your friends when you tell your dog to back up and your dog walks backwards alright i hope you guys enjoy this video i hope the background noise isn't too distracting and i'll see you all in the next one [Music] okay in today's video we're going to be introducing the verbal command so up until this point we've taught our dog the marker is known as loading the markers i call it engagement training where we get them conditioned to the sound that predicts the reward the condition reinforcer then we start showing our dog what behaviors we want them to perform by using the luring technique so teaching her how to sit by lifting up the down by luring her to the ground the place command all these different exercises that we want our dogs to perform once we know we can get them to do the behavior every single time on the physical cue then we go to my step number three where we name the command so when we name the command the name of the command must precede the physical cue it has to come before it must be predictable to the dog this is an analogy i tell everybody and should help you remember this imagine you have a blindfold on and i have a stick and i take that stick and i say i'm going to swing the stick at your head but before i do i'm going to say duck so i say duck then i swing the stick giving you just enough time to duck before i hit you with the stick but what if i did this duck you get it every single time and you would never be able to learn so it's the same when we're teaching our dog basic behaviors or any command really we want to say the verbal and then we want it come here baby come on come on getting excited for the camera so we want to say the verbal command and then we're going to show our dog the physical cue so it becomes a pattern that they can learn they can predict and then we do that until our dog beats us into the behavior so for example i say down then i lure my dog into the down position i mark and reward i say down look the dog went into the down position before i lured them into that position now we know we have it on the verbal command another thing you want to keep in mind is when we start naming the command we want to use the terminal marker so when i teach stay i don't say stay if i place a dog into a commanding position so for example i tell the dog to sit and that dog sits down and i use my continuation marker so for her as yes then she will be in a sit stay if you're not ready to enforce the stay use the terminal marker this way we can pinpoint the completion of the behavior we can reward the dog and we can release them at the same time so during this exercise i'm going to be using my terminal marker which is free letting her know that she's done with the exercise and we're going to move on to the next one again this is because we're not ready to enforce the stay command so here we go we're going to be doing all the different commands that we've worked on so far and remember it goes command motivate mark reward and each one has to be separated by a split second on the timeline they can't be together so we say down then we cue our dog free and then we reward climb then the q free then the reward off then the q free reward spin then the q free reward center then the queue free reward heal then the queue free a little early on the free there then reward down then the queue free reward stand on the queue free reward sit then the queue free reward sit q three reward you see how it's separated if you had a timeline you'd see the command down then you'd see the physical key would be next then the marker free and then the reward so each one is separated what most people do the most common mistake is people pair they're physical with their verbal they pair the command and motivate they go down right and then they say free and they reward at the exact same time we want to make sure that we separate it because if we do it incorrectly it still almost looks like we're doing it correct so for example this is incorrect climb free off free and that's what most people do b all right so i'm going to go back to doing it correctly down two three reward set cue free reward spin cue free reward sit cue heel cue free reward climb q and remember i'm not worried about perfect precision since it's service dog training not competition obedience off cue free reward center cue free reward down cue free reward set cue free reward good girl spin cue free reward climb cue and that's how i do a basic obedience training exercise with my dog once i get it to the point where they know the markers they know the behaviors we want them to perform off of the physical cue and then we're ready to name the command and again command motivate mark reward i can't stress that enough it has to go in that order all right so that's going to be what you guys want to do and again you want to continue doing this until it gets to the point where we say the command climb look the dog went to the climb command without having to guide them to that position then we know we have that behavior on the verbal command and that's very important if you want to get your dogs if you want to get your dogs to perform the behavior on the verbal command alone so i hope you guys like the video make sure you leave a comment and i'll see you guys on the next one [Music] ...
