Stormy - Clicker Training. Lay down on step

Stormy and I are now starting agility training. The clicker is a great tool for teaching your dog new skills. In this video, I am using the clicker to "shape" Stormy's behavior. Ultiamtely, I want her to lie down on the step - but I do not tell her or show her that. I let her *shape* her own behavior by using the clicker - a C/T (click and treat) when she shows a behavior that is IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION of what I ulitmately want her to do. C/T for tourching the step wiht 1 paw. C/T for putting 2 paws on the step. C/T for 3 paws on, etc. I raise the criteria when she successfully repeas\ts the previous desired behavior. This is our 2nd session with this step, so I move forward a little quicker (say 2 successful attempts at each behavior) than I did the first time we worked on this.
