You did a nice job demonstrating the Interval exercise with first, the sit, then, the down. If your student were to copy this demo exactly they would accomplish the task. I think you could just shorten each command to only 2 minutes each then give a 1-2 minute recap at the end. or a 30 second introduction and a 1 minute recap at the end. I like how you used ‘premack principle’ however, you didn’t let your audience know that. you could say something like “if you noticed I rewarded the dog consistently every few seconds and I gave the dog a break too afterward by saying “free” and I also played tug with the dog. I think even if you already mentioned Premack principle in an earlier video it does not hurt to give a quick reminder or use repetition so they don’t forget.
