L2: CRATE-retrain b
This session we review going to and getting in. Then we want him to lie down in the crate.
When he is readily accomplishing those criteria, we drop back to going to the crate and getting in and we add the cue. Then we wait for the lying down. Gradually we increase the distance that Nad goes, by tossing the treat further away each time.
L2: CRATE-retrain c
In this session, Lynn is standing, the crate door is closed briefly, then Nad must go to, enter and lie down before the door is closed. The click also keeps him in the crate after the door opens.
L2: CRATE-no mat
During this session we changed the condition of the crate itself, by removing the mat from inside. So we re-taught the behavior from the very beginning.....and we raised the value of the treat, too.
L2: CRATE-retrain-Jan a
Now Jan takes over the training.
