[stuffedtater]

yes it is operant conditoning.  more specifically.. it's shaping successive approximations

[fuddyduds]

Excellent! Thank you so much for the great video. Since finding out about this kind of training, my dog and I are having tons of fun with a simple box! Your videos are clear, concise, and right to the point. Thank you!

Very beautiful and smart Australian Cattle Dog, of course she has a fantastic owner too. I have two blue girls at home, they are smart and athletic like yours is.

free shaping!im gonna try!thx for that..but how could you make him focus on this game so long?

[SuperBark1]

My dogs are used to working for their food. So, as long as my timing is good and I get the treat to them quickly after I've said "yes" and used a reward marker, they will work for quite a long time even though it's really a brain strain for them. It's also just important to know how long it's ok to let them try "wrong" thing, how long to stay on the same step, and when to add in extra steps. Good luck!

That was awsome, but I would have put a diffrent word other than 'yes' to link the behavior to a command? Like 'box'?

Very smart Auzzie, thank you for sharing.

[mit102390]

"yes" isn't the cue for the behavior, it's a reward marker, marking the behavior she did right, letting her know she'd won a treat. "Yes" is like the "click" in clicker training, and is always the reward marker no matter the behavior being taught. In contrast, "box" would apply to only this behavior. You could add the cue "box" later, after the behavior is reliable. Does that explanation help?

[TherealAshman]

the word "yes" in this example is not the behavior command or cue, its an operant conditioner just like a clicker (many trainers use a sound like clicking the tongue or word like 'yes' instead of a clicker as it frees up a hand). when clicker training you don't introduce the actual cue until the animal is offering the complete behavior . in this case you would introduce the command "box" after the dog is consistently offering the final goal behavior (placing both front legs in the box).

[SuperBark1]

Thanks for answering that you guys!
