My friend is getting another training license and used Flirt for a video. She was going to teach her bow but in the 2 minutes I went to get water and come back she'd already started offerig it
so she worked on a head turn. Once home I decided to finish shaping the bow. Here are some of our steps.
My first session (the new show Whitney is in the background)
bow - YouTube
My second
bow2 - YouTube
Now...who has a creative name? Bow sounds so much like down? And this is WHY I love shaping .The dog gets the behavior so quickly. You can see in video one at first she tries turning to the right. I should have marked that since it's harder for me to get. So far, she's had maybe 7 minutes max on this. I'd say closer to 5. I bet within 10-11 minutes of training, she'll know Bow. This one is easier. than other commands. You click when they offer the down BEFORE the butt hits the ground. Other behaviors may take a bit longer.
