Clicker Training

I just realized that there was a Petco down the street from my apartment when I have been driving 10 minutes up the street to Petsmart. The staff at Petco was highly professional and caring for the pet. They loved Soon Hee so much they gave us a free doggie treat for her! I signed up for a Petco card right away. I will get some cool offers! We purchased a clicker for her so that we can start training her out of her bad habits and reniforce good ones!

Amazing! Its working!

We first had to reinforce her behavior by clicking once she did "what was said" was right. Click. Then treat. She's starting to get it! Click=good behavior.

We started off with the basics she already knew. Sit, down, stand, and paw. Then we taught her a new one, "come." We also started her with the "other paw." She's slowly coming to understand that one. I can't wait till she masters all the basics moves! I'll keep you guys posted on how the training is coming along.
