Hello, and welcome to the forums! Many dogs are prone to using their nose more because they're so in tune with sniffing. With the post-it note method, you have to wait until your dog gets closer to it and mark/reward when he ends up stepping on it. Initially I tend to use the cue "target" in a general way just to simply teach the dog the skill to "move a body part towards an object" it therefore gets the dog to think and learn how he can "operate" with his own body. Down the road though, if you are planning to build on these two behaviors specifically, you can certainly help your dog discriminate between nose targets and paw targets by putting them specifically on a distinctive cue. If we want to get even pickier, we can even give different names to how things are "targeted" for example, we can start giving a specific cue for placing a paw on something (like a post-it note) and another cue for hitting something with a paw, and we can use a cue for pushing something with the nose (like closing an open cabinet) versus simply nose touching. You can therefore use "nose" for nose targets, and "target" for paw targets or target for nose targets and "strike" or "smack" for paw targets. There may be chances that "touch" and "target'" may sound a little too similar as they both start with "ta" as pronunciation and many dogs tend to anticipate us which may lead to the dog getting it wrong, so just something to consider. You can really use any words you prefer as cues as long as they aren't too similar sounding to other cues. Happy training!
