Miss Nela, short for Canela which is Cinnamon in Spanish, was so much fun to work with. I absolutely adore Pitties/bully breeds, and she was the epitome of one -- sweet, smart, silly, friendly, happy, and curious. We taught her some cues in English, and some in Spanish. This cue we chose to use Spanish, so for "Come", we used the translation, "Ven!".
Of course we started learning in the home, then ventured out into the condo complex shared hallway, gradually making our way to the yard, then the street, then a completely new place! It's safe to say Nela was an A+ student!

Ever heard of a "behavior chain"? It's when we teach a dog a certain verbal cue means "perform these three things then you get a treat". It takes multiple sessions and steps to teach this, but look how incredible Miss Luna can show off her behavior chain of Come, Touch, Sit! #dogtraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #womanownedbusiness #siberianhusky
Demonstration of a Behavior Chain - Think Like a Dog Training
What exactly is a “Behavior Chain” and how do you implement them in your dog’s training?
👉🏻 A behavior chain is an event in which units of behavior occur in a sequence and are linked together by learned cues.
👉🏻 This is Luna, a 5 year old Siberian Husky. Luna has been working daily on her recall, and her “Come” cue has been conditioned into a behavior chain, or a sequence of behaviors—Come, Touch, Sit.
👉🏻 Her cue is “Come”, and the following behavior chain is “Touch”, then “Sit”. So, for Luna, “Come” means, in dog language, “I approach owner, touch my nose to her hand, and sit in front of her, and that produces the most rewarding result”. Now, Luna is a little farther along in her training program so her rewards are intermittent to enforce performance precision, but three weeks ago she wouldn’t have been able to perform this behavior as fluently. Daily consistent training by her family got her where she is today.
👉🏻 Luna enjoyed zoomies during her “class break”!
