Homework

I read the handouts that we got in the Orientation Class:
Rules for Relationship Based Training & CSABR&T Fact Sheet
What stuck out for me while reading was:
Do not reward or punish undesireable behaviors.
Be consistent.
Give a cue only once.
'No' isn't a cue
I also filled out the 'Treat Test' form. Filling out this form makes me realize that I don't know my dog as well as I thought I did. :-) Here are the questions:
1. List 5 things your pet likes to play with
2. List 5 different activities that your pet would indulge in if given a free choice
3. Who does your pet spend the majority of his time playing with
4. List 5 places in order or your pet's preference that he would want to to with you
5. Which type of physical contact does your pet enjoy the most - in order of preference
6. List the 5 things that excite your pet the most
7. Favorite game; Favorite toy
8. What are your pet's favorite places to be touched
9. List your pet's 5 favorite foods, in order of preference
I had a difficult time filling out this form. I didn't really know the answers to all the questions. Hadn't thought of them before and now that I am, I don't have all the information I need. I filled it out though to the best of my ability but I think I put stuff down that I really didn't know about. I think I will find out as I go along what Skooter really likes and dislikes.
