| Re: | All Dog Breeds Adult Dog Wanted | | Ad: | I just picked up my foutrh rescued Australian Cattle Dog, an 18-month old blue male who was found stray. Very soon afterwards, I picked up your When Pigs Fly book! I've never clicker-trained one of my dogs before, but I could see this one is going to require all my resources. We've been clicking for 3 weeks, and I'm beginning to see some improvement. (The biggest thing is, although I had no intention of clicker training my 9 1/2 year old female, she is now clicker trained!).I'm using hot dog chunks, cheese balls, and pork rinds (none of which I eat!). I'm definitely beginning to see some improvement in behaviors I want (responds to name, will wait for release when I put down food), but so far I haven't been able to replace the behaviors I don't want (biting, jumping up, walking on counters/tables/washing machine/shelves, running away). Carter's big reinforcer seems to be exporing new things. I'm trying to figure out how to use that as a reward???I realize it takes time we're doing 2-3 sessions per day, sometimes alone & sometimes with the other dog, and recall training while walking. I'm encouraged at the results so far eventually I'd like to train him in agility, whether we ever compete or not thanks for the book! |
