Clicker Plus

Okay, I love the Clicker Plus. I bought it a few years ago because I have three dogs, but I never used it all that often. I either separated the dogs for training or I put one on a down and worked the other. Then I would toss treats to the one holding his down. However for the cats it worked perfectly. The clicker plus for those of you who don't know is a battery operated clicker that you can purchase from clickertraining.com. There are four sounds at two volumes, ping, trill, chirp and click. I chose the softer ping for Orrick and the softer chirp for Set. I started targeting with Orrick in a room full of cats and nobody else paid any attention. Eventually Set realized that there was food and came over. The clicker plus also has a button on the side where you can quickly switch between two sounds. So I could do a rep with Orrick then a rep with Set. I will end up having to seperate them to do shaping work or to work on more complex behaviors, but for behaviors that require a prop or are lured I can work them together no problem.

Danu still didn't seem interested in the food, I will give it a few more days and then charge the clicker with chicken babyfood. I may end up trying to use babyfood instead of cheese, the cheese takes them too long to eat. The problem with that is with the dogs I just put the babyfood out of reach. There is no out of reach with these guys. I swear I could put it on Mars and they would find a way to get to it, or to make me get it for them.
