jewel Posted July 4, 2000 Report Share Posted July 4, 2000 Has anyone used clicker training for obedience? My Harley is clicker trained for agility and flyball, but I was wondering how it worked for obedience. Jewel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite Tess Again Posted July 4, 2000 Report Share Posted July 4, 2000 Hi Jewel As I understand it, the clicker is used to train any animal and is used by the folks who train them for films etc. A friend of mine trained her rabbit to do something, but I can't remember what. I would imagine you could easily train obedience with it. I taught Pepsi the retrieve with the clicker. The only thing I haven't been able to do is stop Tess barking with it. But then I haven't been consistent enough. Regards, Val and the girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kat Posted July 4, 2000 Report Share Posted July 4, 2000 Clicker training can certainly be used for obedience training!!! Just use principals similar to what you do for agility. We also use the target stick along with the clicker to teach heel and the recall. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy Posted July 9, 2000 Report Share Posted July 9, 2000 I second what the Kathy above said. A very good book on this is Morgan Spector's "Clicker Training for Obedience". He walks you thru teaching the exercises in competitive obedience, novice thru utility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
