수잔 개럿의 퍼치 워크 반려견 트릭 (피벗과 스핀)

I prefer that you wrap it in something like a yoga mat that makes it no slip. So there you have many choices of things that you can use for a perch. You want to also have a blanket on hand and I will tell you why you're going to need a blanket. Now, obviously you're also going to need rewards. And in episode number 59 of my podcast, I talked about how important it is to strategically use higher value rewards or medium or lower value rewards at key times. So you're going to need both for this training. And finally, you may need a target stick. So if you aren't familiar with what to do with a target stick, check it out right here, my YouTube channel. I had a two part series on 10 easy ways that you can use a target for your dog training. A paw target was one of them and also how to actually train the use of a target stick. So check that out and then jump back here and let's get in to doing perch work. One final thing I forgot to mention. You need a toy, a toy to get your dog started in the training and to use for balance breaks. Another good video you'll find here on my YouTube channel to check out. Really big part of my training. All right. So what treats do I have? I've got some medium level treats. This is just dried treats and some freeze dried liver. This is the really killer stuff. This is the A plus value and it's roast beef and it's tripe treats. So two bowls, two equal values or two different values, super high value, medium value. All right. Now let's jump in and look at what we're training today. There's five easy steps to what I'm going to teach you. Now let's hear it for easy. If you like easy steps, go ahead and hit the like button on this video right now. Let's have a like for easy steps in dog training. The first thing we want to do is build value. And that is that the dog sees it and goes, holy crap, I'm in love with it. We want to build value. Then we're going to test the value, get our dogs to move their butt. We're going to do right into the pivots and spins and then we're going to name the move. So let's jump right in. Level number one, we're building value. I'm going to start with a blanket. And what I want you to do is just build it up so it's a nice big target for the dog. We want to set them up so that it's so easy for them to be right. They're going to love playing this game. All right. If you haven't played the search game with me, I want you to start by doing that. You're going to hold your dog by the collar, say search, toss a low value cookie. They grab it. You call their name. They come back and they get a higher value cookie from you.

We're going to just play the search game to begin this training right now. As with all training, you start with a toy. This break. Get the ting, go to ting. This is a brand new toy. This is a toy from For My Merls. If you're looking, it's where we get all our toys from. For My Merls. That's a good toy. This is a good toy. That's a good toy. And done. Did it. So this is just relationship building. Good dog training starts with building focus for you. And while she's tugging on that, I'm going to get my lower value cookie ready to throw. Thank you. Search. This. She comes back on the bed. I'm going to give her a higher value cookie. Now you could click that her getting on the bed, but I don't want to confuse the dogs that we want all four feet on. So I would just say nothing and give them their cookie. Search. Good. Search. So you're going to say the word and throw it out. When the dog, good, comes back, you're going to give them a much higher value reward. Search. And this time when she's out there, I'm going to fold my blanket over, giving her half the target that she had before. This. Good. Good. Search. I'm going to fold it again. Good. Search. Good. Search. Good. Search. So you see, I have a nice big square now. Good. Good. So now I'll play my game. Get it. Super, super. And where am I going to play my game? Get it. Super, super. And where my nice big square was before, I'm going to put in the new perch. Search. So I'm going to start low to help my puppy be successful. Get this thing. Get this thing. Even though she knows this. Again, I have my lower value treats. I'm going to throw out for my search. Higher value when she comes and steps up. This is where you can use a clicker when their paws come on this perch. Our goal is just to have their front paws, not their back ones, just their front ones. Thank you. Good. Okay. Good. And now she's up there. I'm going to say, search, throw the cookie. By throwing the cookie, we're helping her to reload and recognize that it's good to be up here. And I'll give her one or two extras just for standing there. Search, say the word, then throw the cookie. Good. Give her one or two extra. Now, do you see how she's cheating and she's looking for me to throw that way? Now I'm going to throw it the other way. Search. Good. Good. Good. Search. Good. You don't have to click twice. If you want to just give two cookies, you can. And one more time. Search. Good. Get that. Get that. Get it. Get it. Get it. So that is step one, done. We've built value. When our dog goes out for their lower value cookie and they come back, they immediately step up on that perch.

Now we're going to move to step two, which is super quick step. And it's just testing what the dog understands. Ready for step two, young lady? Get it. Let's do step two. Let's do step two. Get it. Step two. I'm going to step away and see if she stays on there or if she brings her back feet up. Okay. If she brings her back feet up, she's relying on my body to tell her where she should be. So step two, we're going to do the same thing. Search. Say that word, throw it out and see if she comes to us. If she goes to the perch, then that's exactly what we want. Say the word search, throw it out and stand off to the side or stand back. And when she comes up there, she's telling you that you're testing me and I know what I should do. I shouldn't follow you. Now, if your dog follows you and won't come up, come here a little. You can just step over and hold them here for a second, then say, ready? And let them go and let them tell you, I find value. And if they don't go back to step one and build more value, higher rewards and search. Let them find that thing because that's like important. They're going to figure out good. My highest value rewards happen when my front feet come on there. Step two, super easy, but really important that we get our dogs to understand. It's your front feet alone. Don't try to put your back feet up there. All right. We're ready to move on to move that butt. All right. We're getting our dog to move the butt. There's three ways you can do it. The first one, thank you, is once they get up there, you're no longer going to click just for them getting up. What you're going to click is any movement of their back feet. And you just gently step towards them. And when they move their feet, you're going to click and then step the other way. And then step that way. And our goal is to get our dogs to step all the way around. So you can stop feeding them right in front. When you step, you for sure want to keep one leg there. Good. There you go. So you want to keep one leg there, but eventually you're going to feed them in front. Do you see how that brings her butt all the way around? That's going from a pivot to a spin. Now, the other thing you could do, you could just lure your dog with a cookie all the way around. That might work. I'm not a big fan of luring. So what I would recommend you do rather than lure, use a target stick. Remember, there's a video here, right here on my YouTube channel, how to use a target stick. So this is going to be my target end. And all I'm going to do is get her to touch that. And you're going to use your target stick a couple of times.

And then you're just going to click and reward if she moves on her own. Let's get her going in the other direction. This way. Here we go. So our feet came off. We want to keep those feet on there. Good. Better target for me. Good old fashioned wooden spoon is a better target. I got my clicker built scotch taped right to it. Okay. So. Good. So what we want to do is just get her, get our dog doing this on their own. So there's two behaviors we're working on right now. One is the spin on their own so that they will go in a circle. Good. And the other is just the pivot, the pivot into what I call reinforcement zone at our side. So she's up there. I want her to come all the way back. So she's in reinforcement zone and this is exactly where we want them to walk, right? When we take our dogs for a walk. So I'm going to move break and get her to come around the other way by me just coming to the other side of the perch. So that is growing the movement to an actual pivot where the dog comes straight in beside you. Okay. So that's the pivot. And when your dog's doing it super great, you can move on to step number five, which is name it. And all that I'm going to do, I want her on this side. This is close. And at this side, this is side. I haven't even used these with her, but let's try it. Okay. You get back here. You're, I'll get my clicker ready. So what I'm going to do, can you sit? I'm going to start by getting her to go into side position by me moving her. By me moving. So she's almost there. And I'm going to say side. And that doesn't mean anything to her, but she, she knows I've said something. Sit. So she's going to try to move her closest place. Side. Yes, sir. Side. Good. And I'm just going to click any movement. All right. You can try and the move a little bit more this time. Sit. Side. Good. Okay. And the other side, the same thing. I'm going to come close. Sit. Yes, sir. Sit. And she only has to move a little bit. Close. Good. Right. Now, if your dog doesn't offer that movement on their own, what you can do is remember, you can use your target stick. I'm going to give the cue per side. This is a big one side. You can help them by moving yourself. All right. Now for dogs, she's got her feet on there. This is going to be brilliant for your loose leash walking. For those of you who are doing competition obedience, who tend to only do it on this side. Number one reason why I'd recommend you do both is we get balance in our dogs. We don't always want them looking up on the left because they're going to get overdeveloped neck on one side. Can you sit? Okay. The other reason is in obedience, break.

You can get up and up in there in your bed. When you're doing competition obedience and you have to do something called an about turn, there's a point where your dog's head is in heel position, but their butt is back here. They have to catch all the way up. So them being able to pivot their butt in that direction away from your body is valuable. What most obedience people do is they just do pivots where the dog's butt's coming in towards them. But in order to get them driving the rear end on an about turn and not be left behind the motion, you want to get them pivoting on the right as well. Two pivots. Okay. So a final little test. So a little test of value is we can now stand in reinforcement zone. And I want to do this so you guys can see it. I'm going to stand with the perch in reinforcement zone. I'm going to give my dog a release cue and a search search. And will she come and stop in reinforcement zone? Good. And then I can ask her to sit. Good. So those of you again, who are doing loose leash walking, walking your dog, I hope that's everybody watching search. Search. This is a great opportunity for the dog to rehearse over and over again. There's value here. When I'm walking down the street, I don't need to be out in front. There's value here. This is where I exactly where I want to be. And I would then go to the step of adding your dog's leash and collar so that they rehearse. Being here is a great place to be when I'm on leash and collar. It's going to make walking outside a game changer for you. Okay. Just to review five simple steps, build the value, test the value, move the butt, pivots, do some pivots, do some spins and name them side and close for your pivots. You could just say spin for the dog going around the, the pit, the perch. If you like all of that simple. And it's a, it's just a great fitness exercise for your dog. You can see my puppy is kind of wiped out just by doing a little bit here.
