| Clicker training I went to the library and rented a video on clicker training...it works AWESOME! Izzy is 7 weeks old and in 15 minutes she learned how to sit...i will randomly say sit and she stops what she is doing and sits perfect! I would recomend it to ANYONE! I am wondering what other things i can teach her...we are working on lay down but i am not sure really how to show her what i want her to do...I want to continue to clicker train her but i am wondering what would be other good things for her to learn? |

| I haven't read any of them, but I am going to look into them too. Scout has responded well to clicker training. I learned it at his Petsmart class. Here is a video of him doing some clicker tricks, although he's alot better now! Enjoy. http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?use...tDate=20051123

I have bought all of them and have more on the way. So of the three if you are just starting out I would try. Click For Joy by Melissa Alexander. It brakes it down as easy and as straight forward and answers just about any question that you might think of. Joy | |

I got it for christmas and am half way through it, I have laughed out loud and cried many times... its such a good book so far! Its about the worlds worst dog... its very good!

I tend to give lots of titles and suggest having a look at them all as I do not like anything by one very good trainer but others find it intresting. I like to let you have a look. Some books a dry and boring but others are amazing. Joy | |
