And by the way, you described the clicker training method very well. If I hadn't known what it was, that would have been great to hear. The "loading" part is very important and I think you did a great job explaining all of that. |
Why Thank you! We learned the clicker method in Puppy School at our local PetSmart. That was the second smartest thiing I did. I'd never owned a dog and it was very informative. Assuming all PetSmarts work the same our instructor said the coolest thing the very first class. She said "We are going to teach your dog English and we are going to teach you Dog". It did really help with the important commands and the "silly puppy tricks". Sophie is the same as your puppy. Even though I don't use the clicker anymore (except to get it back out after her spay to reteach "come") it still sits on our counter in a dish. I don't have to say a word but simply "click" and the furry rocket shows up at my feet!
