Reviewing the ECB Chain: Day 3


Today we worked on activating the call box with the verbal cue given while I was seated and Lily was to then return and lie down.

No videos.

Successful from everywhere in the house, upstairs or down.

Outdoors the front door and the family room doors were open.  We began with me seated on the patio furniture in the courtyard.  Several pieces of furniture and facing different directions.  Successfully done.

Then I began moving through the front courtyard, by the front gate, gradually working my way toward the front door.  When I reached the small wooden bench, Lily left me and ran through the front door through the house and out the family room door, returned to me and lay down.  Beautiful work.....except that she forgot to activate the call box on the trip!

Here is where we stopped and made things easier, sending her from the front door to "call".  And sending her from the family room door to "call"

This is where we will remain, gradually adding distance from each location until Lily remembers that the click occurs as she is whacking the call box with her paw.
