SHAPING EARLY OFFERED BEHAVIORS


One of the great things about positive training is you are always looking for things to "capture" that you might need later. 

Capturing is when you see a behavior that you like or may be able to use later so you acknowledge and reward it when it happens.  

Since one of the ways Luna is going to learn to alert for Daishia is to put her paw on Daishia's leg while sitting, when she offered this behavior - we had a puppy praise party! 

You don't have to have treats or toys or anything ready - just acknowledge and recognize the behavior when you see it and begin to pair it with the cue you are going to use if you know it. 

Little one is already learning!
