I see, with command structure, if the dog tried they should receive a conditioned punisher instead of a primary punisher (or correction depending on the phase). This is the “no”. Nothing actually happens on the “no”.
I would be concerned about adding gestures back because it can be counterintuitive if you are going to try to advance the training to p3 and 4. If you were a client I would suggest putting more focus on helping her feel confident doing the behaviors just on the verbal command. This may take some time but it is so worth it!
Thank you for sharing and being so generous with your training!
