Marker Word YES • Regular Recall • Emergency Recall • Second Fear Period • Household Structure
Start in your Super Session E-Learning Portal for the full lessons, then use this page as Stefee’s weekly game plan.
This is priority number one for emergency recall. We need the food that makes Stefee care deeply about coming when called. Emergency recall needs a super high-value reward that you do not use for every other game.
If the food is not powerful enough, emergency recall will feel much harder than it needs to.
Stefee needs clean information. YES marks the exact moment she does the correct behavior.
“Good girl” is praise. YES is information.
Stefee needs more of a student / teacher relationship and less of a dog mom relationship right now.
That does not mean less love. It means love with cleaner guidance, better timing, and fewer mixed signals.
Stefee should sit before getting what she wants. This is where structure starts living in daily life.
Stefee is coming into a developmental stage where things that were fine yesterday may suddenly feel suspicious today. This is not regression. This is development.
Sudden hesitation, barking, freezing, backing away, avoiding new things, or acting suspicious of people, sounds, or objects.
How you handle this stage can shape confidence. Do not force her through fear. Guide her with calm structure.
Stay calm. Create space. Let her observe. Mark brave choices with YES. Do not baby-talk her into a nervous puddle.
This page gives direction. The E-Portal gives the full explanation. Read these in order before trying to do too much.
Tonal, visual, and spatial communication. This is foundation work.
Learn what YES means, when to use it, why timing matters, and why “good girl” is not the marker.
Use this around arrivals, departures, crate time, excitement, and emotional resets.
Stefee should sit before getting what she wants. This is how structure becomes normal.
Read the dog behavior sections so you understand what is driving the behavior, not just what it looks like.
Short, thoughtful sessions beat one long exhausting marathon every time.
Practice Stefee’s everyday recall pattern: name once, kissy sounds, here girl, YES, sit, YES.
Practice emergency recall separately from regular recall.
Open Emergency Recall Page
Stefee needs two different recall systems: regular everyday recall and emergency recall. Do not blend them together. Emergency recall needs to stay special, clear, and highly rewarded.
Use the crack food list above for emergency recall practice. Do not waste that food on everyday requests.
Regular recall and emergency recall are not the same exercise. Practice them separately so the words stay clean.
Read first. Then practice. Keep sessions short, clear, and repeatable.
Stefee needs clear words, clean timing, calm structure, crack-food motivation for emergency recall, and a student / teacher relationship.
Read first. Practice second. Say it once. Mark it clearly. Keep it consistent.
