We do that.
We do that.
so we say people we show and then you do it for a week but for a week they will do on the moment the dog put one feet on the object they are happy and they reward yeah and then they come after one week and they say hey but he's not sitting on no but we rewarded only on putting yeah but if you put only this now it will be difficult because you made it so strong for him that when he put his feet

or one foot on the planche, on the object, he will be rewarded. If you do, if he do three times and you stop rewarding, he will say, hey, why I don't get my reward? And he will look to go further on. He will put his second one.

Exactly. And I must say, I did this demonstration one day in the 90s, and I had a puppy. I trained him already on sitting next to me or sitting in front of me, reward him with clicker. He knew the clicker, let's say it like that. And he was sitting. And I'm in the club and we are discussing about, they say, yeah, but Johan, your technique, it takes much too long and this and that.

And it's not, no. And if we do sit, we push him on the ground and he's sitting immediately. And we see in two seconds, he's sitting. Yeah, but he don't know. exactly yeah but we see and from you it takes 10 minutes before he said the first time but they don't understand that the second time minus exactly Exactly.

And I see now like the type of dogs that we breed, they're so fucking intelligent. If you do something three times and you don't make it more difficult, they lose interest. They don't want to work anymore. That's very true. And that is difficult. That is difficult in the training. We have much more problems to train the handler.

It depends. It depends. It depends on what we work. Because in the start, we don't even use the clicker when we start. Because we teach him the clicker, first of all. But when we start on that, we throw the foot. When we throw the foot, we start searching on the wall or whatever.

And when we throw, for me, by throwing and the tick that gives my piece of foot against the wall is, in a matter of fact, replacing my clicker.

The sound, the dog, oh, it's there. And then he gets away from his indication. If we use the clicker, we see the dog goes too much, click, and we check, we say, hey, I will get it. And now the noise is there, and the food is also immediately there. You know, tick, I can take it. That's the thing that we use.

We use dog food. We use rye candy or proplan or whatever. The hard things that they eat. And I can say we have very, very good results with it.
