Current Goals with Fuss
Goal
- Walk Correctly…..Body Language (handler)
- Keep each part of pattern shorter than actual pattern. (Pattern Training) Leads to anticipation which is the beginning of learning
- Teach the dog to get food by remaining attentive in correct position (I SUCK at feeding while walking)
- Say FUSS only while in correct position, not to bring him into position (shaping not ordering)
- Use Center Line with only right turns (for about turns) not the fancy left about turn yet
These are the short term goals I will be working on with Isaac…now I’ll admit we aren’t starting at square one here since he has been exposed to this already. Since I’ve been a slacker though we are going back to square one for a little refresher for both Isaac and me.
