Look at That is to acknowledge and reward for looking at the distraction without reacting. Click the moment the dog looks. Rooster is beginning to understand the concept. In this Flip, notice that his intensity is much lower and he recovers almost instantaneously.
This was not the only dog who was walked through our training area. If you listen to the clicking carefully, you will be able to tell that the training went on uninterrupted. Lily was off leash. Working at this location adjacent to the Dog Park with all of its morning traffic, and the coaching sessions at Oceanside Harbor, and the new class location at Mission Animal Hospital are all contributing beautifully to the dogs abilities to handle distractions.
The Flip below can also be found on SIT STAY from this mentoring session. But watch it carefully when Karen changes her criteria from SIT STAY to Look at That. Where is the passing dog? Where is Webster's attention? What is Karen C/Ting for?
Let me explain that again Webster. We quickly change the Criteria to Look At That when a dog walks by.
