I scored a second treat n train recently, having fun thinking of ways to bring in one dog two remote rewards. So far have:
Verbal position changes with switching distance:
And then combined with harness and Flexi for working on Thymeās scootering directionals:
(Also intend for working on his whistle direction change but that requires a different mindset and I donāt want him to confuse the two)
Was thinking though. I probably need a third to reward the watching dog? Thyme was absolutely following along with minimal reward š
Then I remembered. THE KMART DISPENSER. I do have three remote rewards!!!
How did you go about teaching your dogs the mimicry thing? I'd love to try it with my dog!
Hope you donāt mind a public answer. I used multiple resources! I hope you and otherās enjoy.Ā
Iām having lots of fun teaching it because, well, Iām teaching my dog a communication concept not a trick howcoolisthat. And the potential for using it to train new things coughpackyourtoysupcough.Freebie resources:

Currently keeping it to just mum and baby boy sessions.
Very clear instructions on how to teach your dog the concept of āmatch an object to sampleā. Brain challenging!

Sudden urge to really work on our directionals in a structured manner as per Ken Ramirez (directionals concepts) versus the guidance in the dogscootering forums (verbal capturing). Kenās approach aligns a lot more with r+ gundog directionals as well. I assume that is from the parallels of SAR to quartering gundogs. An interesting thing to think about.
Was pleased to realise that Thyme does seem to have ONE of the directional cues mostly down on verbal already - so generalisation to be worked on AS WELL AS PATIENCE. He suffers from the curse of an anticipator and wonāt always let me finish the entire syntax of modifiers before offering what he thinks is the correct answer (and he usually is correct. But also. PATIENCE!!! Let me finish the sentence of cues!!!)
Thistle is firmly in the introductory stage of ānew-cue -known behaviour -prompt ā pathway. But she had her thought wrinkles on and seemed pretty enthusiastic on stretching her brain. Which makes me š
