The more you know! 🌠

Timing is everything.

This rings so true when communicating with animals, and beautifully explained by and

In the case of the dog barking and lunging at a dog in the distance, the food appears immediately AFTER the other dog is seen.

With husbandry tasks like a relaxed paw, the goal is to feed while the dog's paw is in a person's hand, and the dog appears calm.

"Marker" signals can help in both situations.

A click or verbal maker is a promise of a reward (reinforcement.)

Markers can pinpoint the desired behavior--the looking at a dog or paw in hand while calm--while giving a dog parent a few seconds to produce the reward like food.

Timing really is everything when talking to dogs.
