Scarlett Dog Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hi, I've just started on shaping with my bull terrier and she loves it and we have had more success than I'd expected. The thing I've found difficult is how to break it down into really small movements and where to click (I'm trying to avoid confusing the poor puppy). I've read 'When Pigs Fly' by Jane Killion. Has anyone else got any suggestions for other good books on clicker training & shaping? It's not really about teaching her trick but making the day to day things easier.

corvus Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think it helps to see videos. You can figure out what the person is clicking for, or if it's a good video, they'll tell you. Kikopup on YouTube is very popular for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
