The 100 rep protocol
100 reps over 1 week, indoors, no distractions: say the cue, deliver a chicken-tier treat 1 second later. No behavior required. The word becomes the predictor.
Then add the behavior
After 100 reps, cue when puppy is 3 ft away and looking at you — they will come because the word now means 'incoming jackpot.' Reward + party.
Key takeaways
- ★Classical conditioning first
- ★100 reps before any criteria
- ★Word = predictor, not command
