Training tale

B to Kizzie to her training class yesterday.  3/4 of an hour into the class Hetty told everyone to put their dogs back in the cars. The humans were going to clicker train each other.  1/2 were sent outside whilst the rest were given instructions.  B had to pick up a jar and take it to L, no words, just a click for doing the right thing.  The clicker operator looked at the jar, B touched the jar and got a click, but the operator carried on looking at the jar.  B picked up the jar and got a click.  The operator looked at L so B took the jar to L and got a click.  It all deteriorated a bit when B had to teach L how to walk to heel :)
When everyone arrived for the following class, they were invited in to watch :):)

I think everyone enjoyed the class, B certainly did , and it taught any sceptics that clicker training really does work.  I think B prefered it to being made to skip ;)
