Our Newest Arrival
Duncan the mini poodle is seven weeks old and staying with my mother and her puppy until we move into our new place in the country. I've had a hunterway who we trained conventionally, but I think I would like to give clicker training ago. Is it relitively simple? Has anyone done it before and has bits of advice? I'm having a big google and read up session but any stories would be great =) -------------  http://lilypie.com"> |

Aww so cute! Sorry don't know anything about clicker training, I'm sure your wee pooch will pick it up in no time, poodles are smart dogs. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

We used clicker training for both of our boxes and found it worked really well. We did our sessions with a dog trainer so she taught us (and the dogs) what to do. We don't need the clickers anymore and the one boxer we have left is very obedient with the commands we taught him  -------------  My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

Cute!!! I love little poodles.
I haven't tried clicker training but I used to sell a lot of clickers when I worked in a pet shop. I have heard lots of great stories about them. ETA I remember a couple who had a dog who would simply get 'in the zone' and not come back when called on the farm. They used the clicker and it worked within days, they could yell and whistle as much as they pleased but one click was all the dog would come back for. -------------

Clicker training is great for young dogs as it teaches them right from the word go what to associate good behavior with, I used to work in a dog training place and we used them alot. You can pick them up for under $10. To start with its good to use a food reward as well as the clicker and then gradually reduce the food treats as the pup responds to the behavior traning with the end goal being that you should only need the clicker.
Good luck and the pup is very cute  ------------- Morgan, Libby http://www.TickerFactory.com/">
