Great Dane Dog Training – Clicker Training (‘Free-shaping’ for Tricks)
www.bighoneydog.com / Honey the Great Dane enjoying a ‘free-shaping’ session as part of her clicker training practice. She has just learnt the “head shake” trick so keeps offering it – but was trying to get her to offer a new behaviour in this session…and succeeded!

Click more often, and reward her for everything except looking at the food. I experienced the same with my dog. They have to learn the game before they can play along. GOOD LUCK.
go on pet star
Very nice!
I’ve tried free shaping my dog piper, but the thing is she doesn’t offer any behaviours! She’s always very very focused on the food and doesnt look away from it. All she does is sit and stare at the food intensely. Any reccomendations? She’s a beautiful dog and I’m glad she has such good focus, but it would be nice if she offered more behaviours.
Wow, great !
Very cool, thanks. Looking forward to seeing what you and your big girl will come up with.
Finally, some sessions, like the one in this video, I’m just running through her repertoire of learned behaviours and seeing how many she will voluntarily offer to earn the click – and don’t care too much if she does’t give me anything new (although she actually did in this case – she pulled her towel off by herself – she had never done that before). I didn’t have any specific intentions for this session – just wanted to do a bit free-shaping and see what developed…
Some sessions I’m looking to produce specific new behaviours and I will focus on one specific action and reinforce that repetitively. But some sessions, I’m just trying to flush out as many different behaviours as possible so I will withhold the click after a few repetitions and look for new behaviours. Usually, if she will do it once or twice voluntarily (as opposed to by accident), it’s usually reproducible again so I don’t worry about “setting” it
Question: You’re click/rewarding lots of different behaviors here. Are they already learned and you’re reinforcing? Generally I’ve found that it takes about 15 repetitions for the behavior to “click” and be reproducible. How are you approaching reproducible behaviors?
well done
That was awesome. I would teach honey to pick up my cloths and put them back for me.lol How about teach honey to give people hugs and lightly bark. Just like humans do. The hug and say Hi. LOL
Great Job Honey..
That was great!
