Try this Clicker Game

Here's a simple exercise I gave to the DogRead online list, to introduce people and their dogs to the clicker philosophy.

Sit on the couch. Put a paper or plastic cup on the floor. Now, using clicker and treats but not throwing the treats near the cup, can you get your dog to knock the cup over and knock it around the room? Try it!
