TracyGood morning! This is a great list! I especially like the detail of the environmental aspects – that is such important info!
And yes, why is that dogs love something from a different person or dog when it is not as “good” as what we have to offer LOL!
The food hierarchy looks good – a really nice list of different values.
>>•Presence of something of higher value, such a favorite toy, or a special person
So she might not eat kibble, for example, if you are holding the ball?
The other environmental aspects are really good – since you have so much detail, you can break it down more – will the highest value food/toys also lose value with strange noises or when you are nervous?
For the parts when you are nervous… I personally do a ‘fake it til ya make it’ in those situations LOL! If I am nervous or stressed or just not in a great move, then I will pretend I am the happiest camper and make all the silly play noises and so far, my dogs are fine with it LOL!!!! No changes in reinforcement values when I fake it 🙂
One last thing – about the storms/loud noises – does she have a fear response and she down/want to leave, or does she just not want to eat lower value foods or play with toys? My Exie had severe storm and loud noise anxiety so I used reinforcement procedures to help him be able to overcome that and compete (and live!) happily 🙂
Have a great day! Let me know what you think!
TracyGood morning and welcome!
I am glad to rear Spy is doing well!!!!! And I am also excited to har about the tadpole/puppy 🙂
Yes, you can upgrade to a working spot if you like. I can set up a PayPal invoice? I am driving home from Jacksonville today so I can do it tonight or tomorrow morning. In the meantime, you can start posting! And this is our ‘break’ week so you should be able to catch up 🙂
