This dog training game focuses on teaching your dog basic life skills and manners around the house. SMART stands for See, Mark, and Reward Training. Put 50 treats (or pieces of your dog's dinner kibble) in a jar or treat pouch. Pay attention to your dog while you're getting ready for the day, prepping dinner, or relaxing in the evening.

Choose one specific behavior you'd like your dog to exhibit. Tell him to "See" it, and give him a treat. Reward him for "Seeing" the behavior - not for any behavior you've told him to exhibit.

If your dog does not respond to your "See" command, put the treat in your pocket and "Mark" it using your foot.

Whenever you show your dog the behavior you want him to exhibit, give him a treat. Always give him a treat first, and then give him a "Mark" or "Reward" on his response. When he consistently exhibits the behavior you want, reward him with the treat he deserved for being "Reactive".

Whenever your dog gets it wrong, DO NOT give him a treat. "Mark" the incorrect behavior and give him a treat second.

When your dog gets it right, give him a treat immediately. Never wait more than 5 seconds for a reward. Always give him a treat first, and then reward with a "Mark" or "Reward".

You can use the "See" and "Mark" commands while you're practicing "See" and "Mark" as a team. Make your dog repeat the behavior you want him to repeat each time you put him in front of the object you want him to mark. "Mark" the object and give him a treat every time he walks in front of it.

This will also train him to be "Reactive" for "Reactive" rewards. If your dog is "Reactive" for the right treat each time, he will always be motivated to exhibit the behavior you want him to exhibit.

If your dog is "Reactive" for a wrong treat, he will be totally distracted and will not be motivated to exhibit the correct behavior.

The "Reactive" and "Seeing" reward system can be used to teach a dog a wide range of behavior. But, if used incorrectly, it can easily destroy your dog's motivation to behave in the way you want him to behave. The "Reactive" and "Seeing" reward system works like this:

"Reactive" means that the dog is motivated to "See" the wrong rewards than when he is "Seeing" the right rewards.

"Seeing" is when the dog is motivated to "See" the object after he was rewarded.

The reward that you will use should be a treat. However, treats can be ignored.

The reward should only be a reward because it will let the dog know you did this and that is enough. "Marking" is when you give your dog a reward when he is facing away from the reward and you call him to you.

The only difference between these two is that you say "Reactive" and "Marking" when you give him the reward and it is only for "Marking" when you reward him when he is not looking at the reward.

The goal is to teach your dog the correct behavior while also giving him the reward he wants. When you use the "Reactive" or "Seeing" rewards system, be careful to use them the same way each time. You should reward the dog only after he has behaved appropriately and done the correct action.

The "Reactive" reward system in the beginning should be used for positive behavior, like walking beside you, or asking to go outside. You should praise him before giving him the reward and then give him the reward he wanted to get, after he has behaved correctly. The reward must be given while he is engaged with the reward and smiling, because you want him to think he is rewarded when he is smiling.

The reward must be very small, and the first few times the dog gets it, he will just get the reward because he is so happy, then you can increase the reward.

If you use the "Marking" system, you must use it while he is in the "Seated" position and "Reactive" because dogs will start to act when you tell them to and "Marking" tells him to "Seize". When you give him the reward after he has "Seized" the object, you want to give him the reward when he is in the "Seated" position.

When you use the "Marking" reward system, it will be best to give rewards after the dog has completed an action.

It is important to note that all of these reward systems are meant to be used in combination. When the dog is motivated to get a reward after he has been rewarded, you can use the "Marking" system while he is engaged in the activity. But then you must make sure that you use the reward system after he has completed the activity. You can give the reward at any time, but you must wait for the dog to take the reward. In the meantime you can use the "Marking" system, or you can use a command system. The most important thing to remember is that when you use the "Marking" reward system, the dog must believe he is rewarded when he is "Seized" because otherwise he will not respond to the command.

This system is just meant to be used when you are not there to supervise your dog, but when you are present to watch the dog it can be used as a reward system. The reason you need to wait for the dog to take the reward after you give it the command is because you want the dog to take the reward before you give the command. If you have given the reward before you give the command, then the dog will not know when you are saying the command. You also want the dog to be motivated to respond to your command so if you move away from him he will not know when you will rejoin. Also, you want to be able to use the reward system when the dog is engaged in the activity because the dog should be motivated to respond to your commands.
