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.
Izzy is being shaped to a lay down not sit at all.
So what she is looking for is a lowering of hte head to the grow and toward down not the sit motion at all.
Watch the head not the bottom.
