Hello everyone! Adding distance is not only great for impressing your friends but also is a great way to proof a behavior.

Hello everyone and welcome to kikopop’s Dog training tip of the day for today Today i’m going to be talking about Asking for a behavior at a distance and Beginning from scratch so with epic here She has a couple behaviors that are Pretty strong I wouldn’t say reliable but i believe That by doing some distance work that’s A great way of proofing those behaviors So one behavior that would be super cute Is teaching her to sit and wave from a Distance so I’m beginning by first Warming up with the behavior and getting Her used to the fact that we’re just Going to be working on on waving i gave Her a big treat Are you ready so i’m going to ask her to Sit and then i’m going to lure the Behavior with the way that i initially Trained it just to get her really Focused and motivated for waving that Paw so on a visual cue and also i can Have the verbal cue as well which is Called wave so i can say wave good So when i’m first training a behavior I’ll say wave and then do the hand Signal so they can learn the verbal cue But then when i’m asking for the Behavior i do both at the same time Because otherwise if the dog is super Fast they’re going to be waving when I’ve said the cue and then i’m waving at
Them after they’ve already waved so i Find it Much more Helpful to say wave As at the same time do both okay and Then just make sure they know Just the visual and and the verbal Okay Before i fill you up with treats free Um what i’m gonna do is send her to the The mat Give her a treat for that so i’m keeping A high rate of reinforcement for all the Other stuff she’s doing in between like Waiting for me to shut up and waiting For me to move away And this is going to make her more Likely To want to wave when i’m at a distance Like this make sure i’m still in the Shot but you can see the wave wasn’t Very It wasn’t very pretty and now she’s Sitting right where we usually do the Wave so Um For dogs they think that well not that They think but for for all animals they Don’t generalize well and the cue has to Do with the environment so she’s trying To make the cue How it’s supposed to be by getting right Where she’s supposed to be to do the cue So by having a mat or a couch or the end
Of a carpet to help them understand that The location is part of the cue and this Is part of the cue this location to Begin with it’s a little crutch to help Her learn to do the behavior at a Distance so even if the behavior looks Crappy That one looks good but you see how she Came forward i’m just going to click and Then feed her in the position and then Make it easier for her so you don’t have To make training harder and harder Otherwise dogs can lose motivation To want to work i’m trying to break the Treat into a smaller treat it was a Little big my nose always runs when i’m Filming Okay super embarrassing oh gosh Okay so she she’s copying my arm Movement that’s why she lifted up her Little paw are you ready another thing I’m going to do is mark her not offering Behaviors She said i need to get to that ham There we go okay Wave good Now i’m just going to be quiet and try To get a couple of repetitions that look Good She said you’re too far away right now Good Good Wave good I’m going to wait for her to get back
Onto the Platform And what i could also work on free is Just being in a sit stay At a distance from me Because now she’s offering a down She says if i could just get close Enough i could get them Okay here we go are you ready Good she got it Ready That’s awfully cute Wave good Good Wave good Good Good Hold on hold on i’m just getting ready Here There we go ready wave good Good and because she keeps jumping off Of this i might try on the couch first Epic jump up Good And see if i can get more distance away From her using the precipice She can jump down Go jump up And i am going to move this mat so it’s Not so confusing for her Ready yes that’s right she’s like how do I wave and come forwards on this Precipice Good
I’m going to try from further away and Then i’m going to make it easy again So there she didn’t do it as precisely But i’m going to come close to her And then get that precision back So you want to work on one Uh criterion at a time so if i want Precision i’m going to work from close By and if i want to work on distance i’m Going to mark things that i don’t think Look so pretty But if i work on The both at the same time that i can go Back and fix the pres precision so she’s More likely Wait to do it precisely from a distance Epic go out Sit wave good whoopsies almost fell off Epic free Ready epic Go jump up Sit Wave good Good Good Wave Good job Good three Good girl Ready Go jump up Good Down Head down
Okay good Head down Okay Good Down up Crowd up Yes good boy Down Good Whoops Up yes good boy Good job Up Nice Down Good Sit Good Pop Nice Sit Good Down Awesome Thank you so much for watching if you’d Like to support my work don’t forget to Like this video and leave me a comment As it’s highly reinforcing for me you Can also subscribe to this channel and Become a kiko pup member by clicking the Join button and that gains you access to One member’s video a month that you can Find in the community section of my Youtube channel see you later
