Guest Tess32 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I have no idea how people can still use the 'older' style ones, they are so annoying to click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Have you seen these books?http://clickerpets.stores.yahoo.net/potrforshdor.html http://clickerpets.stores.yahoo.net/cltowiavford.html Thank you so much. I have just bought both of them. Have you had a chance to read any of the e-book yet? I have a paper copy of the book and love it. The other book must be new and I haven't seen it but it looks worth the money to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other book must be new and I haven't seen it but it looks worth the money to me I had a quick look at the e-book last night and will have a good read on the weekend. It looks like it is going to be a good tool. I ordered the other one as well. I hope it doesn't take too long to get here. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I ordered from them and it arrived quickly, but it was a few years ago. The new book looks great, might invest it in myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really looking forward to starting some clicker training with Angel, my youngest girl. I am going to start this weekend, probably with an old box clicker because I doubt that the new ones will arrive today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aranyoz Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I ventured into the training thread for the first time in ages today. I have never trained with a clicker...and I know by now you're saying what planet have I been on. (But that is a whole other story). I have two 12 week old vizsla siblings (that I bred myself) and would like to try clicker training with them. I have been reading this thread and will order 2 i-clickers (in case I lose one). Which book is the best for a novice clicker trainer but not novice trainer. We had a vizsla with a CD back in the mid 90's that I trained & trialed also my OH and had the first two field trial champ vizslas (not non-slip).

helen Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) I didn't learn from a book so can't say from personal experience, but there are books and DVDs This website has recommended books and has several clicker training books under the 'general' category - http://www.clickersolutions.com/reading.htm - Complete Idiots Guide To Positive Dog Training is a great book which does cover clicker training and is very good on the theory behind the training as well as for practical training Books also on this website - http://www.clickertraining.com/ Are you going back to obedience aranyoz?

Thanks for the info I would like to start the pups off for show training initially and move on to some obedience after that. Edited to say that I have now ordered the 2 X i-clickers. MOH insists one is for him but I have my doubts that he could be bothered using it unless it has some thing to do with hunting!!!!

pie Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) I also like Clicker training I don't use it a whole lot, but last night I was determined to get my 1 year old dog to walk next to me on a loose lead (he is a shocking puller) I have tried a few methods before but he just didn't 'get it' (no doubt my fault more than his ). So I thought I'd try bringing the clicker in as a marker. I put him on the lead and started clicking & treating for him being beside me on a loose lead. I just love seeing the look on his face "ohhhh I get it now" and by the end of the session he wasn't pulling at all A few more sessions (this on was just in the front yard) and he should be right (I hope :D ) It got me all enthused about clicker training again Edited March 8, 2008 by amypie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to get started with the pups now. I know that they have been shipped as I got an email from blackdog yesterday. I really hope that they turn up before the weekend. I have read a couple of articles by Karen Pryor and now am also buying her book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aranyoz Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 They should do aranyoz, Blackdog are very prompt. They arrived this morning and I am pleasantly surprised at how small & light they are. I will definately be doing some puppy training today. Just have to go and cook the sausages to use as the reward for the first few lessons...

aranyoz Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 OMG!! I am sooo in love with my clicker! :D The pups are responding already in one session and were starting to realise that the click meant a reward. and to stand still. But it was there mother who has amazed me she had had some clicker training as a puppy with her previous owner and had resisted my best attemps to get her to keep her feet still when stacking for show training. I have not yet shown her yet and thought it was still along way off. Well 2 sessions later she is standing still with all four feet on the ground and allowing me to adjust her rear legs without moving her front feet.
