At the same time this learning is happening the dog is also noting the location: where in this room, in the house, relative to the food-machine (you). In fact the location may be more salient than the actual behaviour we think we are teaching. This will be apparent when we move the target-object to a new location and see a loss in fluency or hesitation and some serious head scratching. The dog will be asking: " is this a test? Do I go where we learned this or where it is now?" We can add more conflict when we actually use this target-object to cue a dog to transfer the learned behaviour to a new location. We teach the settle on the mat by our side and then pop the mat in the back of the car. Dog logic may well implode at this point: " settle at her feet by the car or should I wait for her to climb into the boot with me?" To prevent location being the dominant, or only learning, ensure micro changes to the location of the object every session. Make the object the dominant cue, not the location. Make the location fluid and unfixed and the constat cue the object. This applies to your relative position as well. Not surprisingly dogs are VERY aware of their location where rewards occur.
when cued in a different location: at a distance or by our side, the dog travels to the location where the reward was delivered to completed the behaviour. This dog is then labelled disobedient for not sitting when it was told: a fallout of human focus on the obedience of the dog not the learning of the dog. Location is a cue When a location has no reward history: the dog has never received food, pleasure or a mark in that location then the learned behaviours are unlikely to transfer to that location, especially when they are reward associated. Unfortunately the protocol to "take behaviour on the road", (forced generalisation) so that it happens in multiple locations is called "proofing". A terrible term used in material testing to establish the fail point. We do not proof dogs or the learning, we should never be seeking the fail point. Generalisation is a natural maturation of learning, it will occur when the learning is being explored in new situations. Regard generalisation as voluntary, a suggestion, not something we should coerce, even with food. We can say a behaviour HAS generalised not decide when it WILL generalise. If you want that behaviour to occur in new places first establish that new place as a reward hot spot. In the future if you want your dog to respond to cues at a distance, a new location, then place the reward source at that location AND reward at that location. Puppy class should not be seeking to inspire new learning if that individual pup is not food seeking: that would be a clear indicator of feeling unsafe. In the future if you want your dog to respond to cues at a distance, a new location, then place the reward source at that location AND reward at that location. Reward sources are navigation points for the dog and quite pertinent if they are familiar with the mark as the beginning of you travelling to them, at that location (next to the refrigerator, biscuit tin, food pot). I would suggest it is quite a Cool Thing for a dog to call their person TO their location instead of the fixation of perfectly performed robot recalls where the dog must do the travelling.

Read More Changing is growth We are naturally attracted to familiar ways of training or living with our dogs. We have often worked hard to learn those habits and there is a reluctance to make changes since this is hard work. It takes mentally energy to note what we are not doing well, recall what changes we need to make, find the prompts that can move us to the changes and then work on the skills those changes require.
