Will have a look at the other links and see what I can get from them.

Thanks ever so much for your help
Hi

Good for you, it is so quick isn't it!!! Why not put your marker on the door now. Use a Post It note and have her touching that, then tape it to the door and teach her to touch it on the door, then with the door very slightly open and shape it until she closes the door. Then open the door slightly wider and do that etc. etc.

Once she is closing the door, put a command to it - but only introduce a command, once the behaviour is established.

I have just taught the walk back using a chair initially.

Sit on the chair, dog in front of you, throw a treat under the chair (dog goes under to get it), as the dog backs out, mark it/click it. Then when she is doing this well, stand up and do the same thing, but stand with your back to a wall, but slightly out, so she can't shoot too far through to start with, but still throw your treat between your legs, click again for the walking back. Gradually move further from the wall, so her whole body goes through, but she backs out through the legs. (only mark as she is backing). Start to put your command in now and then progress until she will go right under and back, shape until she is standing in front of you and you just use the command.

Let us know what you decide to do.

Kate
