Hey all. I'm hoping to increase the speed of some of Willow's responses. I've had good results in the hand target by putting her in a sit then making excitable noises (she stays well for a moderate amount of excitement, yey!) and then giving her the hand signal for a target. I'm wondering how to extend this to other actions. So, let's take the sit. She does sit, very consistently, but never with much gusto. I don't know if this is simply because she's still a baby and processing what I've asked her to do, in which case what I'm asking is premature. But if not, how would I go about this? I've read about only clicking the faster responses, but they're all about the same, slow, speed with none standing out as faster than others. Any suggestions?
Re: Speeding up response Is it the speed of the actual action you want to improve - ie you want her to move faster, or do you want to reduce latency ie the time it takes for her to start moving after you give a cue?
Re: Speeding up response A bit of both, I think. She pauses for maybe a second and then slowly lowers her bum. Maybe I should video it to show you.
