"Good" is initially established as a conditioned reinforcer but then later is used in situations where the dog is expected to continue working. "Out" always signals the end of a sequence of behaviors and a primary reinforcer.
In order to classically condition a reliable eyeblink, you would have to go through the pairing as many as a few hundred times, and if you were to do that, your friend would involuntarily blink whenever she heard a pen click!

I called, he came charging in, I told him to down, and he dropped like a Border Collie. ). Well, the excellent response to the extremely powerful motivation was due to me allowing him to sample the reinforcer first - the jumpstart. But the fact that he never again had any problems with the drop on the drop-on-recall exercise I can only assume was due to the jackpot.

Once he was motivated enough to try it without getting his knickers all in a knot, the Iightbulb went on.
