as not to accidentally reverse the
relationship. I didn't want my messing around with the food to predict
an unpleasant sound instead of the
proper association of sound predicting food.
The Plan
Goal: Make the sound of ripping
Velcro have good associations
for Zani, even when it's close to
her ears.
General Approach: Use the Lotus
Ball, then other items with Velcro, to
counter condition Zani to the sound
of ripping Velcro. Let the sound
predict yummy treats. Graduate the
exposure by controlling the distance,
starting far enough away so that the
sound is not loud or startling. Then
move gradually closer.

My Steps
I chose freeze-dried lamb lung as
the treat. It needed to be high value
but dry so it didn't goop up the Lotus
Ball. Other candidates could be de-

hydrated raw food, beef jerky, or homemade treats that aren't too moist. I didn't
use lamb lung for anything else during this time.
Whenever I needed to load the treats into the ball, I snuck to the back of the
house where Zani couldn't hear it. (The Velcro is really loud!) I needed a pure
association between the noise and the treat, so I didn't want her hearing that
sound any other time.
Over the course of a couple of days, I left the loaded ball sitting on a high
counter and a few other places around the house where the dogs couldn't get
it. My goal was to be sure that I didn't get reverse conditioning. I wanted to
teach Zani that smelling lamb lung didn't predict anything, nor did seeing the
ball, nor did the rattle of the bag of lamb lung. The association would go in one
direction only: the Velcro noise would predict the treats.
Now came the training. I got the loaded Lotus Ball and set up a gate between
Zani and me. I stayed a few feet away from her.
I grabbed the Lotus Ball and opened it as I approached, letting her hear the
Velcro from a distance. (That's what the gate was for; to keep her from coming
up too close too soon.)
I held the Lotus Ball out to Zani and let her eat the treats out of it.
I repeated this process a few times over a couple days, but got closer to
Zani each time when opening the Lotus Ball. I did this twice a day at most, and
at separate times. I was careful about my predictors. For example, I only used
the gate a few times.
I also made sure to continue to have the loaded Lotus Ball out at other times
when not doing any training.

Learning is fun, and people and pups can genuinely enjoy
the training process!
Learn key training concepts in a fun, easy, and engaging way
as you sit in on real training sessions while Dudley teaches
her mixed breed puppy Tasty Kake how to learn, how to
focus, proprioception, recalls, stays, cue discrimination, and
more. You'll also see how Dudley introduces agility handling
through toy play.
This DVD includes 22 training sessions with Tasty as well as
Dudley's commentary on what she liked and didn't like
about the sessions.
