Getting Started

Filed in - beginner

I've been working with Charlotte for a few days now with clicker training. She gets excited when I take the clicker out of the drawer. She'll only work for little bits of lunchmeat. She came to us from an animal shelter and I don't think she was ever given treats by her previous owners. She turns her nose up at them as if to say, "What is this?" The lunchmeat has been successful in maintaining her enthusiasm. 

 

We worked for 2 days on targeting. She has become very successful at it. She will now follow the stick for a few feet and then touch, click, treat. I'm not sure how to proceed now. What trick or behavior would I like her to learn? I think I might begin in "up" or "sit".
