puppy learns the Superbowls Pattern Game!

[@fave3895]

Could we put the treats on the ground without the disks? My thought is to create a predictable pattern that does not rely on disks on the ground. For example, could we place a treat on the ground after every third step and wait for the dog to look up? I believe that this would still provide agency to the dog.

What's the goal? What are you YESing to? Got your name from Katie bartlett.

I believe the idea is to get the dog to orient to its handler. Like rewarding the dog for checking in with its handler so the dog checks in with its handler in future. Rather than say fixating on a stimulus that will generate some reactivity. I think.

the dog's looking up at the handler makes the handler move to the next station. goal to put the dog in control. we are marking when the dog looks up bc this concept is just being introduced. goal to give the dog agency to say yes move forward or not
