Wagging tails are an indicator of mood or temper. Wrong! You can determine some information by observing a dogs tail movement, but don't count on it to tell you about his intent. Some things you'll be able to determine are how comfortable he is with the command or situation he's in. If the tail is kept up underneath, means he's very uncomfortable, nervous, scared. If tail curves around flanks when he's sitting or laying shows he's comfortable. Straight out behind him indicates very comfortable. Sitting on it, with a slight curl at the base, indicates he's in the process of learning something.
Today, you will learn to use and become proficient with the "recall" or "come" command, through the installation of a conditioned reflex. Conditioned reflex can be used to teach any command, but for our purposes at this time, it will only be used for "recall", or "come", as it is not useful in the development of higher learning and thought processes.
Dogs can be trained in four properly conducted repetitions. These 4 repetitions should be performed in 4 different places with 4 different setups. For example when he hears a new instruction, he has no idea what is being requested. The second time he hears that command, he begins to get the message. The next time, he fully understands, but dogs being dogs, he is going to resist you and we call this the learning plateau.
Learning plateaus need time to figure out. Even at the speed of light, commands need to be stored in memory. When your computer asks, "do you really want to delete," your dog does the exactly same thing.
So, when your labrador is learning something new, praise and patience, are required during the few moments it takes to learn. But although your labrador may understand what you are trying to achieve now that you've shown hime 3 times, means he's going to try to go against you! His job is to oppose you. He needs to think things out during the third request. This moment requires praise, regardless of what he is thinking.
He's going to ponder the idea, then glance at you. Back to the idea, now thinking of you. Then think about the idea, then think about you. Follow his thinking, and re-enforce it with praise. Non physical praise only.
You simply can't second-guess what he might be thinking. Presume nothing. Allow his choice to dictate what you do next. He's going to continue one last time at having his own way.
Finally there are only two choices for him. Either he does it correctly, for which you'll continue praise, or, he's going to do it wrong, and you'll continue to praise until you are sure he got it wrong.Then you'll perform the correct move, while continuing to praise, non physical, of course.
