Lilly is having fun!
I love clicker training. I’m a clicker training, so I’m sure you’d never have guessed. Critters’ responses are fast; and they’re clearly having fun. Humans’ responses are fast; and they’re usually amazed. Clicker training creates enthusiastic learners of all species (humans included of course)!
These are strange times we’re currently experiencing and most of us, humans and dogs, are spending more time at home. Another great aspect of clicker training is that it increases and improves the bond across the species gap. With all this extra time together, this is actually a good time to learn clicker training. I’m starting off my online classes with a class for kids, parents, and their critters: Clicker Basics for Kids! I want to share: the basics of clicker training; a few foundation behaviors; a few tricks; the amazing connection; and the fun! If you’ve got a critter loving kid or know one, please pass along this class information. Register here.
What the humans will learn:
What clicker training is and the science behind it
Good clicker timing
How to create the behavior you want
How to set everyone up for success
A fun way to connect with their critter
What the dog or cat will learn:
Click means a tasty treat is coming
Nose target behavior
Tell me a secret trick
Mat behavior
Posing for pictures
Possibly more depending on the speed of training!
Note: this class is for kids ages 10 and up, and is perfect for cats, too.
