Gnasher Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Ok - I will sign up too. Gnasher (collie/terrier cross) and Lady (whippety/something cross) Lady is very keen on clicker training and tend to pick new things up quite easily. Gnasher is still grasping the whole concept of clicker training and tends to be quite cautious about it but we are getting there slowly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanrossscot Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Not Callie, she's deaf) No reason not for Caliie - you can swap a clicker for a light ie some kind of small torch. Instead of the 'click' she woud get a 'flash'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LurcherGirl Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I clicker train both my dogs. Dylan for the last 2 years or so, Flash right from the start. As Dylan is a crossover dog, he is not quite as adventurous when training, but he still loves it. Flash is fab, the perfect clicker training dog... it's just me that is lagging behind... :P I won't be able to join you for actual training exercises as I just don't have the time, but I shall be reading about it with interest! Vera PS. I have started clicker training my African Ringneck parakeet and she is doing really well! So clicker training is not just for dogs, but works on most animals.

Instead of the 'click' she woud get a 'flash'! Lol, I see that might be possible with some dogs - but Callie is also elderly, grumpy, has poor eyesight and is very stubborn. I think any kind of 'training' would be doomed to failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nettie Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yes please Trainer Nettie Dog: Indy (13 and will sit for a click but that's it), Rio (5) and will do anything for a click, Bertie (5 months) and will do what he can for a click. History: Have clicker trained but not that seriously, did a foundation course weekend in the Midlands, Rio clicker trained to intermediate level, Bertie starts his foundation training classes at the end of the month, clicker is not introduced until the 4th week, I think more to ease the owners into it gently rather than the dogs! Now my first question, I train them individually in our living room with the door closed but............wherever the other two dogs are at the first sound of a click they are baying and scratching at the door to get in and join in, even if they've been fast asleep upstairs, this can be very off putting especially for a 5 month old puppy. Any suggestions to avoid this other than stuffing cotton wool in their ears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanrossscot Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Nettie, you can get what called an 'I Click' this has four different sounds at two diff volumes. Click, Beep, Frog, Bird each with a loud and soft tone and you can swap between the tones quite easily. You would then be able to pick a tone for each dog, 'prime' them to that sound so they shouldn't be so bothered when you work the other dog with it's own individual sound.
