clicker training

Honey, my lop that I am starting to clicker train, likes to hang out with Shanay, the satin in the pen next to him. Today I opened his pen and let Shanay go inside Honey's pen, and they got along just fine. I was wondering if I bonded these two rabbits and housed them together, would it be...

I'm looking for a dog trainer in Newfoundland. I will N0T consider a trainer who uses bark control collars,choke chains,or any sort of "shocking" or "scaring" device. Clicker training doesn't seem harmful to me (if there is something negative,please inform,doesn't seem like my dog is scared of...

Alright, I am not any where near knowing enough about mice. Before now, all I knew was that there were little field mice running all over our property that my dogs love to chase. This scholarphip is VERY important to me. I'm considered to be pretty smart, but I'm not a genius and I'm going to...

My guys are doing GREAT!! I TOTALLY gave up on clicker training. YAWN! it got ALL of us frustrated!!! haha:giggle: The only thing i wanted them to learn is to come when called! and they did it today! they came all the way across the room!!! I was soo proud! Seymour would come from 3 feet away...

Hi everyone! Rodent Fest is coming up -- May 3rd 2008 Event details: http://www.rodentclub.org/ One of the BEST places to find mice (and other small pets) for adoption, breeders, rescues, supplies, gifts/crafts, a judged rat show, and more. I personally have got a table reserved...

ARG! Hoddy Toddy is such a pain sometimes. OK I love him to death anyways, but I just CANNOT get him to stop eating the carpet. I'd say he's just completely impossible, except he's become REALLY good at one command: "back!" When I say that and point to his cage he'll even run from across the...

I have just started clicker training my male rats, and they are doing great!!! they are learning to come when I call their names. Any tips ?

My beloved almost 2yr old rat josie passed away recently. I was so sad. I got my first male rats and I am very happy with them! Their names are Douglas and Seymour. They are much more cuddly than my hyper female. I plan to train them to do tricks! Any tips? I appreciate it!!! :elmo:

Hi, I have just gotten a clicker (today actually!) for my sheltie. I was wondering if anyone has used clicker training on their dog. My sheltie is almost 10 months old and know the basic sit and lay down, with verbal and hand signals (He is VERY smart when he wants to be!!! lol) I mainly wanted...

We were having issues with gracy using the litter box for the first several days that we had her. But now she seems to go pee in there almost all the time. Except for a quarter size pee spot on the rug. But poo abounds. She is making pelets everywhere. We have her cage with a fence surround...

Anyone who has been around a sheltie knows that they bark loud and A LOT. My puppy is only 6 months old, and he barks constatly and our neighbors golden retreiver, and at my little twin brother and sister. We are afriad that our neighbors will get fed up with him and call the spca or something...

Are there any good books that teach how to clicker train or target train rabbits?

I read that you could teach a hamster to do tricks. Anyone know what tricks those are and how you would go about doing it. I think it would add a little excitement into Ozzy and Drix's lives.

I have a neighbor (same one that threatened to shoot my dogs actually) and they want their animals to die naturally. What do you think? I think to make an animal suffer like that is beyond cruel. I think that if they are suffering you should put them down. Now if they die suddenly of causes...

I was thinking of doing some clicker training with my rabbits. Nothing fancy, maybe just get them to come to me on command. I was wondering if anyone has tried this?

Neither of my dogs are agressive in any way,but for the last few months I been noticing they took up barking a lot when we go for walks when they see other people/ dogs.In the house they bark if someone opens the door,& once you acknowledge them or (if your a stranger) they smell you,they are...

Would like to get into dog training, but there are no good dog trainers locally. I was curious whether anyone had any suggestions. I have bought a few books including a dog training book for myself for Christmas :p but i not long ago bought "Culture Clash" which i've just started to read which...

Hi everyone, This little guy, Chloe, is my 2-year old Jack Russel-Chihuahua. Don't let the pic deceive you - she is a quite the little monster. Mostly due to my inexperience with training her. I got her at 6-weeks and now at 2, I'm running into issues. She has no formal training and i'm afraid...

Hey guys.. I just got my first puppy, Kylie. She's a Boston terrier, 4 months old. I have been wanting this pup for about 8 years now and finally got the means to get one :). I know alot about the breed and dogs in general from reading, but I have a few questions for everyone as a new pet owner...

I think when used right theyu are useful tools for training! I use both a choke chain and a prong on my dogs. The prong is a godsend for me. I have a dogs that weigh almost as much as me. I tried the Halti he could get out of that same with the Gentle Leader flat collar Yeah right! But I have...
