Motivation Monday 🙌🏻 with Euclid!
🐾 Have you been practicing your “stay/come” cue out in the world!?
🐾 Share it with us Walk A Pup 🐶 #dogwalkersofsalemma #dogwalkersofinstagram #dogtrainersofig #dogtrainers #forcefreedogtraining #positivereinforcementtraining #walkapup #petcare #havefunwithyourdogs
Relaxation takes practice! Training stationary positions and having fun with it, is the way to do it!
🐶 Teach a “Bed” “Mat” or “Place” cue. These are all great verbal cues to use when we are asking our dogs to go to a desired area. We like to start by observing where the dog is most comfortable naturally. Where do they voluntarily lay down and relax? Reinforce with food or pets in that position. Add a cue while in position, continue with reinforcement on the mat, bed, blanket etc. Once the dog reliably responds to the cue when given, we then start to build on duration staying on that bed. Duration and value is built gradually, in small steps, allowing the dog to have a choice and leaving little room for them to "get it wrong"
🐶Reinforcement Drives Behavior!! Building value to a behavior you want to see is SO IMPORTANT! We build value by reinforcing frequently and creating a distinction between being on the bed/mat and being off. Where you place the cookie makes all the difference.
Deliver the treat with consistency in placement such as on the mat/bed, the dog will trust the connection be reinforcement and that place.
We build value by giving a few treats in a row, delivered on on the bed, and only one for the "ok" or "Off" cue. More Cookies on the place than off the place, means going to the place is GREAT!
🐶 This short clip is from one of our PlayN’Train sessions. Relaxation time is practiced daily as a group or individually. Quick bursts are practiced to keep it fun to go on and off the mat/bed, providing opportunity for the pups to gain reinforcement and succeed frequently! In smaller groups or individually, we practice adding in duration with inevitable distractions around!

DROP ITS’ 🐶
While your dog has a toy, use a new toy that is preferably identical but at least similar, and wave it in front of your dog, it helps if you make the toy exciting. The moment the dog drops the toy in his mouth because he is interested in what you are waving over his head, throw the new toy and say “get” again. Repeat until he is predictably dropping the toy then add in your cue “Drop” as you wave the toy in your hand.
