5.7 How Do You Know When He Knows the Cue?

We know that Fido has a clue about the meaning of “target” if he’s facing away

from you and he orients towards you upon hearing the cue word 9 out of 10 times

in a row.

NOTE: We don’t actually have to have targeting with verbal cue down to go on

to the next exercises. The visual cue (presentation of the target) is good enough.

5.8 The Stationary Target

On days you don’t feel like training, you can exercise Fido by having him target to

the stationary target. Place the target in the included base. To teach him to touch

this target, just TONE & TREAT whenever he touches it. You can have him run quite

a distance to touch the stationary target and run back to the machine to get a

treat.

5.9 Troubleshooting

Some Dogs Bite the Target

This is ok but if you only want Fido to touch with his nose, then only reward

when he touches his nose to the target. Don’t reward instances where he bites

the target.

Dog Responds Slowly

If your dog responds slowly, you either:

• Skipped a step and he’s confused or unsure of himself.

• Moved on to the next step too quickly. (Go back and repeat an earlier step.)

• Your presentation of the target was not quick enough.

• Fido was not motivated by the food reward. You need to try a different, more

enticing treat, or reduce the amount of available food throughout the day.

• Fido needs more practice and a longer history of reinforcement for the

"targeting" behavior, so that he understands the behavior better and enjoys

it more.

6.1 Which Dogs Should Learn This Exercise

Any dog with impulsivity issues should work on this exercise. That includes dogs

who whine or bark for attention, jump on or lunge to reach people/other dogs, or

who act without thinking. It’s also important for dogs who love attention and toys

more than food because it’s a way to use all motivators to your advantage. It’s

important for dogs with low attention span because it trains the dogs that all fun

comes from the humans and they can’t have access to other things that distract

them (toys, other dogs) unless they ask their owners for permission by sitting.

The leave-it exercise that’s shown in Chapter 6 of the DVD will be especially

important for the last stage of training dogs to lie down calmly when visitors

come to the door.

6.2 Overview

This is the most important exercise in all of dog training, and failure to do this

exercise is one of the top reasons for delay in program completion. By training your

dog to automatically Say "Please" by sitting, you’ll teach him to ask for privileges

rather than taking whatever he wants for free. In other words, he’ll learn impulse

control. Once your dog consistently sits automatically in all of the situations described,

you can elect to use it or not to use it in all of these situation. Regardless, you’ll

have it in your toolbox in case you need it later on.

Recommended Practice: At least three sessions of 10 repetitions daily, plus every

time your dog wants something from you.

TIP: Your dog will respond more to your actions than to your words. Make sure

your body language and actions are correct.

6.3 Step 1: Learning to Say "Please" by Sitting Automatically

Start with a hungry dog either on a leash or in a small room without any

distractions. Let him see that you have a treat so that he knows what he can earn,

then just hold the treat hidden in your hand against your body and above your belt.

At first, Fido will wonder why there is a delay in treat delivery. If he’s a go-getter,

he’ll try to get your attention doing what’s worked in the past. This probably means

a few pogo-like pounces on you and a “woof, yap, yip.” Rather than barking back

an English equivalent of “No” or placing a hand on him to keep him down, make
