Summary

In this episode, we discuss when to change a cue, just because a cue doesn't seem to be working does not mean it's the cue's fault, when it's a training or fluency issue, when the cue itself is actually broken, when it's too close to an existing cue, whether your cue is poisoned, and two options for changing cues if you need to.

0:00.0	The crew itself was fine, but now you need to change it because while your dog could perceive it,
0:05.8	previously, now he can't. Because he's in double digits and every day is a gift, but you still need
0:10.7	him to come in from the yard. So you need a way to do that. So of course, I think it's really common
0:15.4	as dogs get older for them to lose their hearing. And I've always felt like we went through a little
0:20.2	bit of a phase where I couldn't entirely tell
0:22.6	if you can't hear me or if you don't want to hear me.
0:43.1	Let me. Hey there, fellow training nerds.
0:45.0	You're listening to Drinking from the Toilet.

0:58.8	if you're into that kind of thing. This week, we're talking about when you might want to change
1:05.0	the cue that you're using for a behavior that you're training. Sometimes a cue isn't working
1:09.7	like you want it to for particular behavior or it's not practical for the application that you're training. Sometimes a queue isn't working like you want it to for particular behavior,
1:11.8	or it's not practical for the application that you're training this behavior for, and sometimes
1:16.2	changing the queue can be a good move. But is it always necessary? Well, we're going to talk about
1:22.4	that, but first I want to thank Laurie G and Kurt B for being the latest new supporters of the podcast on Patreon.
