Dash has been trained to sit using traditional methods. I'd like to re-teach it more positively, because his sits are less than reliable. He often slides into a down.
Okay, so I used hotdogs as reinforcers. I clicked when he started back, then gradually increased criteria until he sat. Once he realized that sitting meant a click, he started sitting, then sliding into a down, and unfortuantely, he was reinforced for it. I was getting a little frustrated with myself, so I put away the clicker and we did a minute of tricks.
Next session...an actual sit!
