- Here I free shape my dog to put two front feet in a box. I don't tell her what to do. Instead I just reward for behaviors closer and closer to the goal behavior. She's learning through trial and error.
My dogs are used to working for their food. So, as long as my timing is good and I get the treat to them quickly after I've said "yes" and used a reward marker, they will work for quite a long time even though it's really a brain strain for them. It's also just important to know how long it's ok to let them try "wrong" thing, how long to stay on the same step, and when to add in extra steps. Good luck!
am i the only one who has just had a breakthrough.. haha, im in psych studying for a final tomorrow and i never fully understood this concept until now.. thank you so much
I hope you did well on your final!!!
the word "yes" in this example is not the behavior command or cue, its an operant conditioner just like a clicker (many trainers use a sound like clicking the tongue or word like 'yes' instead of a clicker as it frees up a hand). when clicker training you don't introduce the actual cue until the animal is offering the complete behavior . in this case you would introduce the command "box" after the dog is consistently offering the final goal behavior (placing both front legs in the box).
I have been looking all over for a good example of shaping and they're harder to find than you would think. I finally found THIS one. I appreciate it very much. Great example!
Excellent! Thank you so much for the great video. Since finding out about this kind of training, my dog and I are having tons of fun with a simple box! Your videos are clear, concise, and right to the point. Thank you!
"yes" isn't the cue for the behavior, it's a reward marker, marking the behavior she did right, letting her know she'd won a treat. "Yes" is like the "click" in clicker training, and is always the reward marker no matter the behavior being taught. In contrast, "box" would apply to only this behavior. You could add the cue "box" later, after the behavior is reliable. Does that explanation help?
Its so much fun to see a dog teaking. And i love australian cattle dog.
i tryed this with my four year old sheltie johnnie :)) he put all four paws into it with in five mins YEAHHHH. :))) love your video's
wow, this is great. definitely going to try it with my dog
yes it is operant conditoning. more specifically.. it's shaping successive approximations
Thankyou Dr. Yin and good dog for this amazing video learning !

free shaping!im gonna try!thx for that..but how could you make him focus on this game so long?
I have a question about free shaping. I have a 20 mon the old GSD that I've always used luring w/. We've never had a problem using the luring, but one day I decided to try free shaping just for the fun of it. He was lost. I got him to try a little bit but after about two min. he just sat there and staired at me trying to get me to tell him what to do. How do I start working on free shaping w/ him?
