Your setup has a lot to do with how you transition. It has a lot to do with how many repetitions

your dog has to do before they get it right. And so, what does that look like?

Ahead of time in your training plan, you're going to

obviously, you're going to plan, what are the behaviors I'm going to be teaching today?

So, I'll do one of two things. If I have a small training area, I will put my props,

I'll set them up ahead of time, either on a chair or a couch or somewhere that

I could grab them in the midst of working for those seamless transitions. So, it might be

I'm working crate games at the very beginning of my training. I've got the crate door open,

I'm moving the dog back and forth. When the dog gets out, I will instantly start tugging. And as I'm

tugging from the top of the crate, I might take a perch. Perchwork pivots and spins. If you're not

doing that with your puppy or your dog, go over to YouTube and check out that video. All right?

And so I'll always include perch work at least a few times a week for my puppy.

As I'm talking, that perch is just thrown on the floor and I might then transition from my

tugging. I'll just say out and she will instantly go for the perch with her front feet and I'll

throw the toy around my neck. I'll grab some cookies. Probably they're in what

I've always referred to as my kangaroo pouch because I'm, that's what we used to call it when I was

a kid, but a lot of people didn't know what that was. It's the pouch in the front of my hoodie.

So, I'll grab the cookies for my hoodie and I can seamlessly start to transition to train my dog.

Okay? So, I will plan the stations that I want to train.

So always will be with my puppy who's only 15 weeks old. It will be predominantly

recaller games and fitness exercises, right? I'm already just doing the foundation for her to learn

fitness exercises.
