Well we've just had our first puppy training class, using our clicker. We clicked and rewarded handsomely for sitting and being calm on a mat. We clicked and rewarded for sitting. And I've been practising click and reward for reacting to his name when I call it. So it's been a bit of a day for our Bob! He's done pretty well I think. I've just given him 1/2 a dembone and a warm hot water bottle, I think he'll definitely need a nap after all that! The journey there was OK... I put him in the back.. the sooner he gets used to it, the better. He whined for a bit and settled down after. I think he had a wee or was slightly sick on the way home as the towel was a bit wet. But he did good. And I feel because he responded to well to my click/reward, that I'm a bit more in control of things. Just wanted to share Lou x
Re: Just had our first puppy training class! They pick up on the clicker really quickly, don't they?! Well done Bob!!

Re: Just had our first puppy training class! Luna has training about a month from now! I wanted to get her in sooner, but our schedules just couldn't allow it since we have to be available for 6 straight Saturday's to go to her class. We live in the sticks, so we have to travel 45 minutes or so to the nearest PetSmart for her normal vet/class.
