Hi, this is Biddley from West Palm Dog.
I'm here with Harley and Charlie.
And for this session, what I'm going to be working on
is having Harley be in a sit-stay
while Charlie is running around as a distraction.
It can be really difficult to get
two dogs to comply with the same cue at the same time.
So we want to start one at a time.
First, I'm going to start with Harley.
I'm going to allow Charlie to just run around the room
and smell stuff and act as something
that Harley may want to go towards.
And then we'll switch.
Harley, sit.
Good.
So Charlie's interested in what we're doing.
But I'm only going to be rewarding Harley for this.
Harley, stay.
Yes.
Good boy, Harley.
So this may have an observational effect
on Charlie.
He may be watching, going, hey, I want to do that too.
But for right now, for this sequence,
we're only going to be rewarding Harley.
Harley, sit.
Stay.
Yes.
Good boy, Harley.
Do a few more.
Do it from a different direction.
Harley, sit.
Good.
Stay.
Yes.
Very nice work from Harley.
Do one more.
See if I can't get all the way to the back.
Harley, sit.
Stay.
Uh-oh.
So he saw Charlie moving and moving
with me, which prompted him to move.
Very predictable.
So we're going to reset him, withhold reward for that.
No.
Sit.
And try it again.
Harley, stay.
Yes.
Good work.
That was great work from Harley.
So even with Charlie walking with me, he stayed put.
That was really excellent impulse control.
We're going to work on it with Charlie.
And then we'll come back and do another video tomorrow.
