2) The second way to get the behavior is LURING. A good example of this is moving a treat slowly backwards just above the head of a dog to get him to sit. In clicker training, as the dog sat, you would C/T. After several repetitions, you would want to try to lose the lure. Try making the same motion with an empty hand. Did he sit? Yippee! Jackpot. You'd follow the same steps as in number one to get the behavior on cue.

I used luring to teach Joey "Down".

Again, multiple short sessions are best!
