Teaching lights -dog tricks clicker training
THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.
Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...
Splash and Kiko were trained to turn the light switches on and off using Free Shaping. In this video I wanted to show that you can use Luring to achieve complex behaviors in a rapid amount of time. Tug already has the skills of fading a lure and adding a verbal cue under his belt. But I have to say that all this footage was taken from a single training session of 10 minutes long. When using free shaping getting to this same level with the two behaviors of “push” and “off”- it took a few more training sessions and I found it harder with dogs that liked to retrieve as they would keep offering trying to put the light switch in their mouth like a dumbell.
Hope you have fun with this one! The key is to keep raising criteria quickly!!! DONT get trapped on the luring stage!!! The luring stage should only last a couple of minutes until your dog is reliably making sweeping movements to confidently turn the switch on and off.
See you next time!

It’s great that in this video you also showed the details of the equipment you need to get started, and how you altered the switch to make it easier for the dogs.

So so cute! I was trying to teach Jackson how to flick the light switch but I only had one switch in my house that he could jump on the back of the furniture and then switch it… it was just kinda awkward. I’ve been inspired to go to Home Depot and go buy a better light switch now! I think he could learn this pretty quick. Tug just ‘tugs’ at my heart, he’s sooo adorable.

I was wondering …
I was wondering what you think is the best way for a dog to turn off the light when raised to full height. I teach a nudge up with the nose and wold prefer a nudge down as the dog isn’t scratching the wall then or putting teeth marks in the light, but can say your average size labrador retriever do a nudge down at a normal height lightswitch?
I like how you …
I like how you taught Tug with a lure - I prefer teaching tricks with some luring so your technique was very helpful! Thanks for another great tutorial!
