Like you mentioned, the key is to be consistent (with word choice and what response you expect). I'm glad you had such fun with Katie!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574014631558661455.post-62796206288238770622013-08-17T22:18:36.687+10:002013-08-17T22:18:36.687+10:00It's funny you say that, the Sit photo was my ...It's funny you say that, the Sit photo was my clearest photo, even though she honestly only ever sits for a second before getting back up again! I think it was just a lucky shot!<br />I too have seen some guineas do some amazing tricks: have you seen this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiI9tf1F6sU)? Amazing isn't it?<br />I'll be honest, I haven't got any motivation to use the clicker on Cocoa at the moment, not too sure why... maybe I'll want to later.<br />Thanks so much Pia!<br />MelonMelonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096024678243322835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574014631558661455.post-45276002467341603412013-08-17T22:13:44.442+10:002013-08-17T22:13:44.442+10:00I'm pretty happy about her responding myself. ...I'm pretty happy about her responding myself. :)<br />Thanks Rachel, I'll remember that!

The bond is the most important thing, I've just heard that training can be a way to develop the bond and to be able to do more with your dog. <br />Sorry to hear that your experience with trainers was no good, apparently Katie's old trainer didn't do so much either! <br /><br />I myself am having a good couple of days, thankyou! I hope your weekend is just as excellent!<br />MelonMelonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096024678243322835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574014631558661455.post-9064553498861909912013-08-17T05:46:43.956+10:002013-08-17T05:46:43.956+10:00Seems Katie is a very active dog.

She does a wonderful "sit", long enough to get this nice photo :-)<br />Guinea pigs can also do clicker training, I saw some videos on the internet. And bought a soft clicker. But -haha. It is just chaos so far.<br />You are doing a good job with Katie!<br />Liebe Grüße,<br />PiaPiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994038637087928519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574014631558661455.post-41355796173498379852013-08-17T01:40:59.806+10:002013-08-17T01:40:59.806+10:00Take it easy on your self you're doing a grand...Take it easy on your self you're doing a grand job if she is responding to you.Consistancy is the most important thing plus a long walk to get rid of excess energy will make it easier for her to focus on you when you want to train her,its all good!xx RachelLittle Miss Titchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456038281813066947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574014631558661455.post-45128797167003411862013-08-17T01:31:02.536+10:002013-08-17T01:31:02.536+10:00Try and enjoy your walks and don't really worr...Try and enjoy your walks and don't really worry about all the training stuff. Truthfully we found it is the bond that makes things easier and we think it is the most important thing. Happy dog , equals happy human equals happy house. We tried two trainers and they were useless so we gave up and learnt just to be patient and enjoy. Hope you are feeling better today.<br />Have a fabulous Friday.<br />Best wishes MollyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215335582021912308noreply@blogger.com
