Sit Signal

>> Wednesday, December 23, 2015 – obedience , video , zumi

I've run into an unexpected problem with Zumi's signals. Knowing that creeping forward is a common problem in the signal exercises I've been pretty clear how I want her position changes to look. A fold back down, a lift back sit, and a kick back stand. Zero forward movement. So when Zumi started offering scootching backwards a little bit from her down to sit I thought it was cute. I rewarded it. A bunch. I honestly never thought it was going to stick as she didn't always do it.

So now we have this!

Alright I have to fix it. Motion forwards or backwards is deducted the same, no matter how cute. She's a little confused as to why I'm resetting her a lot now, but she is starting to get it.
