I used cheerios as they can have lots of those! He will sit, stay, and talk without the clicker now but HE picks and chooses when to "come." He learned how to talk (speak) within 1/2 hour using the clicker. It just takes time and patience. I no longer use the clicker but I bet if I were to get it out and he was in the yard and heard it click, he would come running to me for a treat.
So for those of you that are giving up on the clicker, don't. It takes time, patience and persistence. |
I love the name Toby, reminds me of the movie Toby Tyler, and he was a little stinker too! Cheerios are great treats, they love them, and they don't fill them up, so you can keep their attention. Joey doesn't aways come when I call his name, but if I say treat, he'll come running!
