Good moment as any to pitch it. Reminder I write a fanfic where I try to put all of my lore preaching to use, sort out the messy dos2 timeline, excessively romance Fane, and more!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

It's not great, between not being a native speaker and my English being primarily self-taught, but I'm trying to produce something palatable. I expand upon big and small things, tie things that needed tying, and introduced two new origins (!!!) on top of the already-known cast.

Yes, all origins survive, we're doing it the hard way. Meanwhile, I try to paint Rivellon as a living world with rich history, suffering or benefitting from the consequences of its people's actions. Lots of Eternal stuff and older lore used for something other than decoration.

Training Tuesday! Reinforcing Stopped Contacts

Changing the location of reinforcement for stopped contacts from in-position to out-of-position sounds counterintuitive, but it works. Releasing forward to a reward reduces dependence on the handler since the handler doesn't need to move close to the dog to deliver the reward. It also helps reduce problems like curling or stopping sideways by keeping the dog's focus forward.

And most importantly, it's a big piece in creating a ring-sustainable behavior. Dogs who are frequently rewarded in-position in training often lose their stopped contact behavior with the absence of those reinforcers in trials. Associating the release with reward in training strengthens the behavior for trials.

Chandra here is retraining from a bang-and-go to 2on/2off on the teeter. We're still working some of the pieces, and front-crossing is a particular challenge for her to think about, especially with the pre-placed toy. :)
