In my quest to get my Labs better trained I had started trying some clicker training. Wanting to know more I bought one of Karen Pryor's DVD's.
Last night I put it on ... all 4 dogs were snoozing ... there was a few minutes of talking, then the examples started ... At the first click every dog (including the two I've never introduced to a clicker) jumped up, ears erect, noses pressed against the TV, waiting for a treat to appear. I tried watching for a few minutes more, but what with noses in the way, the pups trying to get behind the TV to find the person with the treats, and me laughing hysterically I eventually gave up. DVD is now in my laptop and I'll be watching it when the pups aren't around ... got to love these guys
Thanks for the info on the DVD we have been debating on using or not using a clicker and apparently it works. Maybe we should try it on our 2 yr old to get him to eat his dinner, one bite, click and a treat etc. LOL
