Here is Gsxr — one of my rock star pupils! She’s been working on delivering a beer from the fridge on cue. So far, she can go to the fridge, open it, pull out a beer, and hand deliver it — but only in close proximity to the fridge. So now we are increasing the criteria by asking for more and more distance. Watch Gsxr learn to work from farther and farther away. By the end of the session, she’s delivering a beer to her mom, Morgan, from all the way across the apartment while Morgan relaxes on the sofa. Impressive!
Next and final step: Gsxr will learn to shut the fridge behind her! It won’t be long –she’s already pushing the door with two paws!
