In this video, I’m again trying to activate Rocky while taking the advice into account. When I take hold of his collar, he immediately releases the toy, so at one point I allow him to grab the toy without a marker, and later I reinforce holding even while I’m holding his collar. He continues to try to keep a bit of distance and offers backward movement, whereas I would like him to be more active / to bark closer to me. In any case, this attempt feels slightly better to me than the previous one 🙂

Avoidance when cooperating with a helper. The dog performs the exercises perfectly with me, but when a helper appears, he becomes stressed. He refuses to take food from the helper’s hands, and if the food is placed on the ground (even at some distance from the helper), he approaches it more slowly, makes a curve, and sniffs the ground. He also jumps on his owner showing insecurity (appeasement / “flirting” behavior), asking for support. How can we help such a dog and make the exercise easier or break it into smaller stages so the dog can succeed? How should the helper behave? What should the owner do — encourage the dog to be braver, or instead acknowledge his stress state and modify the exercise structure and conditions? I would also appreciate feedback on the homework I have done :)

Food Games

Shaping session — improvisation

The goal is to awaken activity by encouraging offered behavior and to more confidently push an object that makes noise 🙂
