Sit Signal Update
Remember that oh so cute but sadly point costing behavior of Zumi backing on the sit signal? Well we're making progress with my plan!
Like everything, we could be further ahead if I actually practiced it daily. But still, I'm happy with the way things are progressing. The plan was to work on down to beg to get Zumi in the habit of lifting her front end straight up vs thinking about backing up.
She hasn't done any backing exceeding 2 feet in a while. At this point I'm trying to reset anything greater than 1 foot and am still rewarding the tiny little ones. Doing less alternating with the beg position than previously too. Zumi is often going into the beg when I go to feed her and I'm letting that slide for now because it's cute :) I know, I know, I'll regret that at some point too!
