Using Capturing- back leg movements and 101 things

[burninforyou]

I love that free time cue, it's something I've been hoping to get with my dogs. They haven't really caught on to shaping too much (we just started pivoting with brickwork- breakthrough!) but we're getting there!

The scratching is so cool.

I'm still loughing over Kiko!

Great video... I tried doing the "free time" thing with my cattle dog once and she just freaked (Started whining and getting frustrated). She never really offer behaviors, I always have to use some degree of luring when shaping.

You could try for first sessions using a high level of reinforcement. So click a foot step, a head turn, a blink even. Or if your dog is a statue, throw a treat and click your dog for the movement after the treat. OR take out a strange object, chances are your dog will go and investigate it, and you can CandT for that.
