I was thinking I'd like to train JJ to do this, just for fun, and I'm trying to get my head around the easiest way to do it.
If I give her the sit command and stand right next to her, click and jackpot treat, rinse repeat, and then huge jackpot and party when she orientates to sitting on my left lets say in the future how do I cue that so it's differentiated from sitting in front of me, or eventually on my right? When she sits left do I add the cue, click and treat and repeat? Will that be confusing because I already cued a sit to train the left sit?
Or should I lure her with a treat on my left side, click and treat when she finally sits (it's a default behavior so I'd expect her to do it fairly quickly), rinse, repeat, and when she'd orientated to my left side and sitting then add the cue "left sit?" She's pushy enough to orientate fairly easily to wherever the treat is LOL For Apollo that wouldn't work, because he'd never try and orientate to my left side just because I had a treat there. I think he'd just sit in front of me expecting the treat for sitting patiently in front like a good boy. With him I think I'd have to do it the former way.
What do you guys think? I hope that made sense.
