I took my boy to PetSmart...
They were doing this clicker training stuff... I guess I didn't like it because I'm more old-school.
Instead of the "I'll give you a treat if you do what I ask" method I was hoping I'd get the "Do what I ask, period." method. Not what I got.
I wanted like hands-on ways to prevent misbehavor. The woman who was training was to me a little bit too nice.
But if you like nice! Then it'll be good for you all.
It was great for socialization. Over the course of the weeks we went Harley completely opened up. He went from being scared and shy of other dogs to leading them around and starting all the games.
Unfortunately the only thing we learned was 'sit' and 'down'. The other commands Harley didn't really pick up--but I'm starting to work on them with him again with the help of Job Michael Evan's books and a little more resolve.
Good luck on your training! |
