lmao@ clicker training a cat!!!!! We....need...a...video...lol

I agree use what the dog gives you and can handle. Food as Melba said is easy and there is no stress. Shit don't feed them for a day or two and see how well they work for it.

I see compulsion as Melba said. Used as a method for in which the dog KNOWS the command but gives you the finger instead when you give it. I have no issue with it.

Positive Reinforcement
Negative Reinforcement
Punishment/compulsion

Got to use all 3.

Anyone who can train a cat to do anything is a hero in my books. Never tried it I'll leave it to the cat training pros :) I have seen amazing stuff with horses and clicker training.

It wasn't really something I set out to do, LOL. I was really just curious and loved my hubby just shaking his head. She had the sit down in
5 minutes maybe :) Really, what besides food motivates a cat? LMAO! If we could teach her to find explosives, we could make a fortune! Ha ha ha!

A very good person to have out for a seminar, or to go and see is Greg Doud. He is excellent for beginners. He is very patient, will answer any questions and literally writes everything out for you to take notes. He used to be a special needs teacher, so his patience and communication is second to none. He covers everything you are asking, markers, etc. I believe his site is just his name .com. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cykodog, I'm not a big fan of using my marker for a release.

"I'm not a big fan of using my marker for a release."

Ok. Understandable. So when you are beginning training OB with markers, how does your puppy respond when you give the mark? Do you train with the mark being an intermediate, hold position, until release/reward? How do you teach the pup that the mark=reward, but then the reward doesn't come until the release? Video would help. :)

It makes no sense to me, so no, I do not start out a puppy with a separate mark and release words...

Well yes. If I start with food, I load the marker. The dog gets reward on the marker. This is all basic starter stuff. As the dog progresses, obviously the marker isn't fed and you add bridge and release. Maybe you and I are talking two different things, but I'm picturing a dog that will stay in the down and you are releasing it with your marker, which I still disagree with and believe that the dog should get the "ok" at this point.

Ok cool. He is a nice puppy, and I raised the litter, so perhaps he is looking more advanced than he really is at this video. 5 month pup, maybe 3rd actual ob training session. :) So I think we're on the same page afterall and he is still at the "reward at the marker" stage.

The original question was about training a "down and staying down" with food/toy, my video shows how I started that with my pup.

Cyko, I didn't even see your video.
