This is Kikopup’s dog training tip of the day for today! It is about training your dog to do multiple behaviors that he memorizes in a sequence to build his speed and accuracy doing the behaviors as well as teach him to work on a variable ratio of reinforcement, meaning that he does multiple behaviors before being reinforced without knowing when he will be reinforced.
Don’t forget to reinforce me with a comment! It really increases the views to my videos! 🙂

Hello everyone and welcome to kikopop’s Dog training tip of the day for today Today i’m going to be talking about Creating a behavior sequence that your Dog memorizes not only to show off your Dog’s cool behaviors or tricks but also So that you can teach your dog to work On a variable ratio of reinforcement Without frustration so today i’m going To be working with bliss here my Nine-month-old border collie and Teaching him a cute sequence so the Important thing is choosing behaviors That are strong and that the dog can do Reliably If you have a new A young dog that doesn’t have any Reliable behaviors you can choose that Aren’t that strong You can choose behaviors that are the Best that you’ve worked on the most and Then you can revert to using the lure While going through the behaviors and Also using a high rate of reinforcement So you might give a treat for every Single behavior that you ask for So to begin with i’m going to warm bliss Up with uh playing with the toy list Ready get it good boy Drop good Ready Go around Giddy yeah good boy Awesome
Drop good Okay he’s warmed up so now i’m going to Go over the behaviors that are going to Be in the sequence One is going to be sitting sit Good get it good job So i’m just testing to see if the Behaviors are nice and reliable before i Try to make them into a chain so now He’s sitting he’s looking at a bird That’s landed right off camera are you Ready The next one is pause up on my leg both Paws Good get it And as you noticed i have a marker that Means you’re doing it right which is Good like that and then i say get it Because what i don’t want especially if You have your dog on your back or on Your body That when you say get it they’re gonna Like take off of your body and scratch You up or uh it can create unreliable Behaviors that are a little messy so i Like to with stationary behaviors mark The behavior and then with a marker that Means stay there and then say get it so It’s not that he’s got his paws on my Leg and then i said get it and he then Pushes off of me to get the toy why are You sitting like that okay So we have the sit we have the paws on My leg and then we have
A twirl behavior And a spin and i could do these without Luring but you might want to start with Luring just so that it’s fun and Exciting for your dog if they’ve never Done a behavior sequence Before drop Okay The other thing that we’re going to do Is have them go through my legs Good okay so now we’re going to put the Behaviors together so i’m going to ask Him to sit Good and then both paws get it Good job and then after he does both Paws i’m going to ask him to twirl drop Good Twirl Good get it and why am i letting go of The toy drop to ask him to drop is Because he doesn’t have a reliable drop When i’m tugging and i feel like using a Toy to train this behavior are you ready Go legs Get it good so after he twirls he goes Through my legs then i ask him to sit Drop Sit Both paws And then spin Get it Drop And then go through my legs again Good job get it
Drop awesome now if i wanted to teach Him to drop while tugging that would be Its own tutorial i mean its own training Session of itself i’m not going to work On that and work on this sequence at the Same time that’s too uh too much to do In one training session so i’m making it Easy and just asking him to drop when i When i’m not holding it so we begin in The sitting position and he’s starting To we actually worked on this A little bit already But he’s starting to anticipate what i Want next So i’m going to wait Until he’s sitting again and then wait Till he does it on cue so i’m going to Say both pause Good Twirl Go legs Sit Both paws Spin And that was hard for him spin Go legs Get it So now i know that it’s hard for him to Spin On this side or maybe i just asked for Too much So what i’m gonna do is start him here While he’s got his paws up on my leg Drop and then ask him to spin
Sit Pause up Ready and i’m going to use a nice luring Gesture ready pause up Spin Good get it nice Drop Good Spin get it good boy So there uh doing these sequences also Um Brings to light parts of your training That need work and it’s not that he’s Saying no or that he’s stupid But not to call a dog stupid there’s no Stupid dogs or stupid people drop it’s Just a lack of information So If i say spin and he doesn’t spin it’s Just that this cue isn’t working so i Can say spin And then use the lure to get him to spin Ready Free Spin Good get it Halo is going to show off a little bit Sit Ready both pause twirl go legs sit both Paws spin go legs sit both paws twirl go Legs sit both paws spin go legs good and Now the other sequence he has Is twirl twirl turn back through spin Spin flip back through get it
So if you were going to make a behavior Chain with two sequences together you Can always practice them in different Orders but get them used to the Transitions between hello between Sequences so So that um so that they don’t realize That the sequences are going to go on And on forever and that they’re these Fun short things and they never know What might happen next rather than oh no Emily’s going to do four minutes of Tricks with me and i’m not going to get A toy so that’s what keeps it fun And gets them wanting to do more Behaviors for less For less primary or secondary Reinforcers You know the behaviors themselves become Fun for the dogs to do So they even get up from their stay To want to do more And i’m going to reinforce him Ready get that there you go Wish free Can you not not not stand up walk on Walk on go walk on welcome Wait Sit pretty Stand up get it Good girl Good girl Ready wish Thank you so much for watching if you’d
