I'm not video savvy. I've never even posted a video! (Blush). I'm old school, I still like photos.

People have suggested a pen to me before, but I am a huge nerd, and I am addicted to those 4-color bic pens - so I'm clicking that dozens of times a day already.

The binder clip worked, I think! I need to work on my timing. But it's definitely more precise, and I can see it being better for capturing just the right moment. That was originally why I was so excited about getting a dog - clicker training! And then Thor was terrified of it. Ooooooh, I'm so excited I finally came up with an alternative.

Keep me posted on how the clicker works for you.


Yes, Nose Work is hiding a treat in a box. It's supposed to be good for dogs that aren't good with other dogs, because they don't interact with each other at all. At the most basic level, it's just supposed to be fun for the dog, they get to sniff around and eat stuff.

It was interesting, Thor was out of his crate for ten minutes max - but he seemed really tired afterwards. The trainer says it is a big workout for the mind and body, and so far, that seems to be true.
