Thats a good system, and its using some of the underlying principals that Operant Conditioning is hinged upon. Some of the reactions you describe are just exactly what you watch for when using OC to train an animal.
I took answering Bill's question down a purely OC methodology since it was posted on the OC sub-forum I assumed that was what he was lookin for...and even if I was wrong someone else will eventually be lookin for the info.
Your system is a great one Fred, and illustrates very well that OC is nothing new. Falconers have been using your formula for millenia.
What
is different about using "proper" OC in training is some very detailed terminology that helps one to think, plan, understand and discuss the teaching/learning in a very detailed fashion and refine the goals and methods much more sharply.
