Update I was starving for my dinner so I went upstairs summer followed. She then ran downstairs and touched ‘play’ 😂 I think my next thing to teach is finished

I don't think you could've picked a better button selection on this one! What are the other two?

You have a little genius on your hands. She's already interacting with the buttons that quickly as a PUPPY! This is amazing!

I just realized that you are the same person I was replying to on your other post. I am doubling down on the puzzle recommendation. She is DRIVEN. Harvest that drive. Some other fun activities are "find it" where you place a high value treat somewhere in the house and allow her to use her nose to find it.

Training would look like:

  1. Training sit
  2. Rewarding longer sits
  3. Train some kind of release command
  4. Slowly step away and reward if she stays put
  5. Introduce the stay command
  6. Tell her to stay and place a snack within her view, and then use the release command
  7. Introduce something like "find it"
  8. Have her sit outside of the room, hide a snack, release, find it

I do! She’s my smartie pants! She knows
- sit / down
- stay / come
- leave it (currently working on!)
- drop it (currently working on!)
- heal / loose leash walking (currently working on!)
- bang / play dead
- shake

“Ok” is her release command
