Foot Lift, Last Session: Stimulus Control



We started this about seven days ago, and followed the training plan very closely. The biggest change was this session.... I changed the foot lift cue to something other than our general 'pick up your foot' cue, which wasn't really formally trained but has apparently had enough reinforcement for small lifts that he only gave the large lifts after multiple repetitions.

Watching the video, I noticed that Griffin was sliding a lot...we'll bring in our foam tiles for future training!

This went WAY faster than I expected, I thought it would take a lot longer to get duration and the discrimination between foot up and foot on the floor... It could get stronger with more practice, but it's not a behavior we really need to work on.

Hmm... what to do next.....
