[Phinnsmommy]

I have been training Phinn for about a week, and this is the progress he has made:

:biggrin2:

He knows come, spin, and up. Oh, and I know he didn't make a full spin! Hehe, were still working on that.

And I gave Cleo a treat after too .

I am so proud of him .

That is so cool! I wish I had more time so I could do that with some of my guys. I think Zeke would take to it really quickly.

I love how Cleo is begging on the sidelines there!

Cool!! I clicker trained a couple of mine . It was fun.

 

[Raspberry82]

Oh Wow!!! I want to try this on mine too! Something tells me max might be too willful though, lol.

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Silvie!!!! Teach me! Lol. I don't understand how clicker training actually works! I have a clicker, and I've tried, believe me...well i did teach my cat to sit, but that's a different story and I'm not sure if he'll even do it anymore...I guess i'll try.

Anyhow, how did you do it!? And how did you get Phinn to do those tricks, just wow! lol. I tried clicker training Magic to jump hurdles and his thought was "Mom, youre stupid. I'm not a dog....so don't teach me!" lol.

Thank you!

First I started off doing a click, then giving Phinn a treat. I did it ALOT of times.

The I hold a treat in my hand, and do whatever motion I want Phinn to do. He will follow the treat it my hand.

After awhile he just realizes what tricks I want him to do, and will now do them just for a click, so he doesn't have to eat alot of treats anymore.

Did that make sense, haha?

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Yup that made perfect sense! Better than what I've read other places! I thought that clicking would make them confused, haha. So smart I am! lol, NOT! hehe. Thanks Silvie!

Great! Glad I could help .

Phinn just learned 'give kisses', i'll have to get a video of it.

Also, if you want, I can make an intructional video on clicker training, just showing how to do the basic tricks .

 

[PepnFluff]

Oooo could you please I really want to train Fluffy to do things. I'm going to atempt to hunt down a clicker so I can start!:biggrin2:Yay i'm all excited now! lol i think i need to get out more tehe

 

[Phinnsmommy]

It's alot of fun.

Also, when you are looking for a clicker, MAKE SURE IT IS NOT TOO LOUD. I had that happen once. I found a great adjustable one that is perfect now though.

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Oooh yeah an instructional video would be great!

The clicker I have is just an oridnary dog one; it's not too loud, and not too quiet. It's perfect, hehe.

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Bump.

Have you made the vid yet, Silvie!?

[SnowyShiloh]

I want to try this with Tallulah! She will do anything for food and seems to be quite a smart baby. I'll just give her a pellet every time I click! Can't wait to see your video

 

[JadeIcing]

She is away for the weekend, also she has been helping her mom who has been under the weather.

 

[SnowyShiloh]

Oh yeah! I forgot that she said she was going to be away, how silly of me. Thanks, Alicia I hope she has a good time! I didn't know her mom was sick, is she all better?

 

[JadeIcing]

Looks like her mom is better.

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Yeah I knew she was going somewhere; but I was just asking, for when she got back.
