Clicker Training Rabbits

[TK Bunnies]

My mom sent me these links a while ago. It's about clicker training rabbits. So my mom's decided that we should clicker train our buns. It's actually a lot of fun! The buns are happy because they get lots of treats, and we're happy because we get to play with a cool clicky-thing-a-ma-boby :biggrin2:

Anyway here are thelinks:

Hi, something for you to note of;
We wanted to try clicker training with our bun a few months back. And bought a dog-clicker but we introduced it wrongly - we accidently click too close to our bunny and startled the poor thing. :X
We'll start again in the next few weeks and for the initial period, I think it'll be safer to cover the clicker with a small towel.

I've seen this on youTube and thought it fantastic! Will love to hear how you do and glad to know that you may need to get a "smaller" clicker - lol.. Post video if you can of your trials and tribulations of training.

okay! The buns aren't to sure about. Right now we're just trying to get the buns to think of the *Click* as the sound of treats.

I started doing this with Ollie - got going pretty well. But I stopped when Rosie died...

I taught him to come, and 'up' as in get up onto something and 'down' as in get off something. I would love to pick it back up again one day.
