Simon says... I did NOT say "OK"

Anthony8858 · 11-11-2011, 06:05 PM

Late night snacks, give me a chance to work a little something into my training with Kira.

I'm trying to enforce my "OK" or release. This little exercise has been working for me,and little by little, I've been spilling it over onto other commands.

No matter what I say, I didn't say "OK"

I'd like to polish this up, so feel free to critique.

I didn't watch the video but I would never use OK for a release word again. I realized that when I had Jax in a Down in the post office and I said Ok to the post lady. Jax thought I was talking to her. LOL

LOL... OH NO! I didn't even think of that.

OK is recommended by everything I'm reading and hearing.

Oh boy, now I'm really confused.

You don't need to be confused.

English is not a dog's native language. You could the word Banana's if you want to! LOL I use Yes! as my marker or release word.

My obedience instructor used "beans". A lot use "free". I use ok and wish I did not.

Anthony8858 · 11-11-2011, 06:43 PM

There goes the mailman... Oh, OK.
YIKES!!

I use 'free' for the reasons stated...

I used "free" with my first dog and for some reason taught Sasha, "Ok". I'm really wishing I hadn't used that.

chelle · 11-11-2011, 07:23 PM

Oh crap... ok.

I guess I better re-think "ok."

Anthony8858 · 11-11-2011, 07:26 PM

I'd bet a lot of people here are in trouble with the "OK"
