So far, I’ve just worked with Mike on simple things, like releasing whatever is in his mouth and going after the toy I throw. I’ve gotten him used to the clicker and he no longer twitches each time it clicks. And yesterday we specifically started working on sit. I’d kinda worked on it before while getting him used to the clicker. But yesterday we locked ourselves in the kitchen and learned sit.
Clicker training is an excellent way to teach behaviors. Joella learned all her SD tasks this way and excelled. I think Mike will be the same. It is also easier on me since there’s no leash jerking or butt pushing. Just sitting and waiting for Mike to do what I want him to do then rewarding him like mad. Basically.
