Seriously, people ask me if he doesn tricks and I tell him he won't sit without and trick and say "See" and tell him to sit and he does. But other than that, he turns around and walks the other way. But he's great with treats, doesn't ever even hesitate. How do I get him to do it without having to feed him constantly? |
You need to move to a "random" reinforcement schedule. TO learn how to do this - I strongly recommend reading Karen Pryor's "Don't Shoot the Dog." Also an internet search on 'Bob Baily" and "operant conditioning" and "random reinforcement" will give you lots of hits and useful information.
