Summary
In this episode, we explore strategies to achieve faster and more precise behaviors in dog training. I discuss how clarity, timing, and reinforcement techniques can improve your dog's response times, reduce hesitation, and build confidence. Tune in for practical tips to keep your training sessions clean and effective.
Key Points:
- Clear communication prevents slow or hesitant behaviors in dogs.
- Reinforcement clarity is crucial, even when using a high rate of rewards.
- Capturing and reinforcing the initial signs of a behavior leads to quicker responses.
- Consistent timing with marker cues enhances behavior speed.
- Minimizing duration requirements can accelerate behavior performance.

| 0:00.0 | The other thing that I will like to do here with the starting position is I'll lure the dog |
| 0:03.9 | so that his weight is shifted way to one side. |
| 0:06.9 | And when I let go and he starts to readjust his feet, just to stand more normally, the pod |
| 0:13.3 | target's right there. |
| 0:14.3 | And he can't help a step on it. |
| 0:16.7 | That's zero latency. |
| 0:18.1 | That's one of my favorite tricks to build a quick behavior from the very beginning. And then we can increment distance from there. |
| 0:42.9 | Hey. Hey there, fellow training nerds. |
| 0:44.9 | You're listening to Drinking from the Toilet. |
| 0:51.4 | If you like to geek out about combining the science of behavior with positive reinforcement philosophy, in real life, you've come to the right place. |
| 0:55.2 | I'm your host, Hannah Brandigan, teacher, trainer, podcaster, and author of the book Awesome Obedience, and its companion Awesome Obedience, The Field Guide, |

| 1:23.4 | that I did around this time last year. This will be 21 days of exercises focused on building |
| 1:30.9 | awesomer healing. So tighter position, both more accurate and more precise, as well as enthusiastic. |
| 1:39.7 | And there'll be some other tips and tricks and things like that, lots of opportunities to get your |
