Shaping

A few weeks ago I started to shape/teach Party to weave between my legs. The behavior I wanted is simply me in a stationary position with my legs set apart and Party doing figure eights between them. I picked this behavior entirely because I felt it would be good for start lines and I could do it anywhere.

When I first started Party was very reluctant to go through my legs at all. It took a lot of luring and coercion to get her to even walk through. It took several training sets for her to start to become comfortable. She did not seem to like the pressure of it.
Once she was comfortable it was getting easier for her to wrap around one of my legs, although it was still being lured. After a few reps of that behavior I started to introduce wrapping the second leg. At first she was confused and would do the original behavior then lie down. So I lured her with a high reinforcer and got the behavior. At this point she is wrapping both legs very well. However, my dilemma is this; she will not offer the behavior. I have the cue down to a tap on the leg alternating legs to keep her going but she will not offer or keep going without it. I made the mistake (or not) when she was younger of not making her operant. I tried this morning to wait her out and had some success. The interesting thing was she lied down, barked at me, shuffled her feet, all operant type behaviors but not the one I wanted or one I could reinforce. If she had come forward at all I could have started shaping it. I will continue to get her to understand that she does not need a cue to keep going but can think for herself.
