day 1 of clicker use

Filed in

After reading an article about "crazy dogs" I had more confidence about working with Honey. I was amazed at how quick she seems to learn!

I had placed the small bag of treats up on top of the fence out of her reach and when she would try to get them, I'd tell her "down" and point to the ground with the snack in my closed fist. It only took four times and she started to respond to the click for good behavior.

After about 10 minutes, she got bored and ran off so I took her for a walk. She pulls really bad on the leash and when I would stop until she came back to me and sat down to wait, I would click, treat and praise. We made it almost a full mile without nearly as much struggle as I had been having.

I really believe if I keep working with her, she will be a pro in no time.

I am learning so much with the information I find on this site and I look forward to continued success with her.

I will keep you posted with my progress.

Neat!

That is really cool and that gives me some ideas for my dog!

Thanks!
