Both yes and the click serve as markers. In her video, she clicks and then Izzy sits. Izzy walks away and then sits, and right when she gets up the lady clicks. Then she has to call Izzy back and tells her to "get back to work". Shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't she be clicking a sit stay rather than Izzy getting distracted? Isn't the clicking marking the incorrect behavior?
Not trying to criticize, just trying to understand. Going to finish watching the vid. |
I agree with you, and I wasn't clear what she was actually trying to mark. Sometimes it almost seemed like she was using the click to say "sit." instead of "Yes". The problem with that is the next time she uses the click, the dog will just think she wants it to sit. You don't always have to reward the mark, but you should always mark the behavior, you want.
