Erny Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 It's not trivial, Zeping. Even professional dog trainers who train all sorts of different dogs every day still get that 'buzz' when a dog performs what we have been seeking to teach. It is great and I hope you will continue to enjoy those moments (and even the frustrating ones that are sometimes sent to try you) for the rest of your doggy interactive life .

shoemonster Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Theres nothing better than that feeling of them "getting it" for the first time, I love it, you feel such pride in them and i'm sure they know it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsdogs Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I know what you mean. I've been lazy & only taught Tilba a few things, but she picked them up after a few repetitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Haha i have the exact same feeling! When i train my guy Grizzly i feel great when he learns a new thing.. even today when i took him for his first walk and taught him to heel and sit everytime i stop walking i got a huge buzz from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lablover Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Good for you/us and your/our dogs. Dogs are not stupid.......I often think, as has been proven......we need to think like a dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamby Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I get a buzz with any dog that responds to me and gives me the movement I want. Gambit, Annabell and Scotty are so enthused about clicker training I never stop trying to think of something else they can do. The cardboard box or finding items are the funniest games. I love the interaction between me and the dogs when the clicker comes out. To see them trying so hard to make me click is a buzz. I get a buzz out of a handler who is having trouble getting their dog to do a bow, drop etc and then see the look on the handlers face when the dog gets it. ;) Gambit is so quick on the uptake, but then again he's an Aussie. An instructer during a class tried so hard to get me to take Gambit to a new level. Wow did he ever. The Instructor was amazed at how quickly Gambit understood exactly what was required of him. The Buzz, whatever it be is so rewarding. You will see that your reaction is in no way trivial, it is part of being a dog owner who loves their dogs and loves to keep their brains working.
