Scritch learns about marker training

So I am a big believer in using whatever works to effectively communicate. One of the tools I like to use is a marker, in this case a clicker. Yes I know the whole but your bribing him argument. But we all work for something. You can even use clickers with approach and retreat methods and so on. All a clicker is is a way to mark the moment they did want you wanted. Anyway off my tangent. Scritch did wonderful!! We used the clicker to help him start to get a better idea of what I am wanting him to do with picking up his feet. He was doing it but he was a little confused and unsure and was trying many different things. So I thought hey I will mark the moment he does what I want. He loved it! In about 2 clicks he totally had the concept that a click was always followed by a reward of some sort and in about 5 clicks he had the concept that HE had to do something for a click to happen. Now with that said it took maybe 25 clickers for him to really get the idea what that something was was to stand quietly with his foot in my hand. He trained MANY different things. I think I probably could have taught him to bow, count, and cross his legs in the same amount of time LOL. Looking forward to how he progresses with these concepts from here :)
