How do you physically mold a behavior? ✔✔Use physical interactions to make a dog sit or lay
down
Example: having the leash short so the dog is forced to lay down
How do you prompt behavior? ✔✔Cue the behavior to happen using food lures, voice prompts,
equipment prompts, physical prompts (where dog is physically manipulated into a position)

in the behavior disappearing

but not every time
Fixed interval reinforcement schedule ✔✔Reward behavior after certain amount of time
Teaching down stay uses this
