Training and using the
remote reward system
So now we have a dog which is trained to NT a target with
high degree of motivation. Now we are increasing the distance we need to be
able to reward at a distance as well. The Remote Reward gives us the ability to
do this.
As a start we begin by shaping the use of the reward system.
Then we send dog to NT at a distance, rewarding by activating the reward system
when the criteria is achieved. When the dog is comfortable NT at the distance
with reward, we can begin to fade the remote reward.
Eventually I substituted food for a tuggy. The tuggy being
presented after distance NT had been achieved. Now we have a dog NT at distance
for reward of toy!
The process is summarised in this video.
