10-4, always treat after a click. Don't fade until behavior is well established. Got it, thanks! I will have to read over the posts a few more...
Delta is almost a year old. She has a pretty good recall, but I think that there is room for improvement. I bought Total Recall and have read...
Thank you very much for clearing that up. That makes perfect sense.
I have been using a placeboard for a few months, but just for retrieving. I never gave a place cue, but just shaped her to get on and eventually...
I have read about the clicker retrieve, but I was unsure if Delta was too young to start this. I really do not have any reason myself to say that...
How? Toss the dummy at my feet, maybe? I am just not sure how to do this.
I am working on retrieving off of a placeboard with my 16 week old pup, Delta. Very limited number of retrieves, maybe 1 a day. I have her get on...
I see, that make sense. I will continue to work on the sit to greet. The double ended lead is a great idea, I can easily make one out of rope...
Delta is starting to jump on people and up on the table. I keep seeing posts about C&T for keep four paws on the floor. How do I do that?
Just a quick update. Yesterday I first tried placing the placeboard on my left side. But of course she still wanted to face me because that is how...

This transition from traditional training to positive training is more involved than I thought. Hard to break old habits. If I don't have my...
The light bulb just went off on this one! I have been working with the placeboard and I ALWAYS stand in front of it. I will start placing the...
Delta is now about 14 weeks old. I am working her on heel in the backyard off lead, and have started to mix in some sits. When she sits, she does...
I had never trained with a placeboard before, but read the following link and just used a placeboard for Delta to sit on. The placeboard just...
Julie, You answered it perfectly! I was trying to piece together my training from various sources, and as you can see, I was a little confused....
10-4, that clears everything up. Thanks!
I have read a little bit about placeboard training, and the "place" command. From what I read, people use it for making the dog lay down and be...
snowbunny, Thanks for starting this post. What exactly is the "stop and start method?" Are there any other posts describing this message?...
Of course, my pup is much younger than yours and everything is different but here is something that worked for me yesterday. I had been working...
