I scored a second treat n train recently, having fun thinking of ways to bring in one dog two remote rewards. So far have:
Verbal position changes with switching distance:
And then combined with harness and Flexi for working on Thyme’s scootering directionals:
(Also intend for working on his whistle direction change but that requires a different mindset and I don’t want him to confuse the two)
Was thinking though. I probably need a third to reward the watching dog? Thyme was absolutely following along with minimal reward 😭
Then I remembered. THE KMART DISPENSER. I do have three remote rewards!!!

The actual use of turn signals makes the world a better place.

Hey, one of you mentioned you study Australian languages. Is Guugu Yimithirr the only one that uses cardinal directions (north, south) instead of relative directions (left, right)? Or is this phenomenon more widespread in Aboriginal languages? Also do you know of good sources that discuss this? Google Scholar turns up a number of results but I don't know who's considered any kind of expert on the subject.
No, Guugu Yimithirr is not the only one. As a matter of fact, many of its relatives have similar systems, so do languages of a few other families.
The people at the MPI in Nijmegen (Language and Cognition Group) have been working on spatial deixis/directionals for decades now, not only in Australian languages. Other names that comes to my mind is Eva Schultze-Berndt (Manchester) and Claire Bowern (Yale).
