Great example of The Premack Principle! Nicely done!

I think the learning outcome of this short session was that the dog was starting to learn some self restraint. Not perfect after 4 minutes but signs were there. You can now start to embed those actions.

This video offers an approach to dealing with distractions in training a dog to walk on a loose leash -- on a loose leash, not off-leash. Clearly it takes more than 4 minutes to work through distractions, so of course the dog's training wasn't finished in 4 minutes -- and this is a demonstration of one way to go about it. Off-leash heeling is a different process. That's not what this video is about.

So what exactly did you achieve in these 4 minutes? The dog seemed to want to get the ball again, it just was not as energetic about it as it was initially, because it got walked in circles a bunch. The fixation was still there. The real way to know would have been to let it off the leash while bouncing the ball and then watch what happens... :D

This is a great real video with an untrained dog. I love it. My obedience class is stupid and has no structure. I am saving up my money for a better train class with a large space like yours.
