Hi,
Wouldn’t you prefer to make this instruction in a file with all commands? Repetition helps not only dogs but also people! It’s easier to write instructions if you have a pattern and stick to it, at least with me it passes the test
I have no experience with chains myself so I can’t practically help, I can only talks abou theory as usual 😀 😀 😀
I myself always try to write everything step by step so that the client can repeat each action exactly and I try to avoid terminology like „primary reward” instead it is better to tell the client: pet the dog or give him a treat as a reward after praise. Sometimes describing the first step in this way gets the job done and later you just have to write mark and reward but the customer knows what you mean, just because you know doesn’t mean the customer does too.
As for the chain itself, the concept is good. I see that you don’t teach each step separately just start from step one each time.
Personally if this is going to be a command that sends the dog after something already at step one I would add distance, it will be easier to teach the dog to approach the refrigerator from a distance than to teach it to approach, grab, pull from a distance. This will save the owner frustration.
I would separately teach sending under the refrigerator from a distance and at the same time separately teach how to open the refrigerator by pulling.
Maybe then an reversed chain? 😀
As I said I have no experience in this but maybe this will help 😛
