that was awesome!!! 🙂 it took splash so long to build the muscles in her
back for this trick! 🙂
@pamelamarxsen Same works for my dog too Pam. Especially if you have a dog
that is familiar with the clicker, you can tell they understand “yes! I’m
being rewarded for exactly what I’m doing now!”. But I agree, whatever
works for your dog. Just like children, not all of them learn in the exact
same way. As long as it’s kept positive and fun! 🙂 Twix looks awesome!!
He’s pretty big!
Is it possible to teach this trick without a clicker? my puppies get
freaked out by the sound of the clicker and always run away. They didn’t
like the sound when I was trying to get them to associate that the sound =
treat.
Oh I love this! Can I see the other one do it too? VERY NICE!! Kim
@addictedclickerdogz Well, a lot of people do only click once or just rapid
fire treats to keep the dog in the one position. However, sometimes I will
continue clicking and treating to keep the dog in that position longer.
Once he understands the position and starts to hold it longer, I will space
out the click/treat and move my hand away from his mouth. I really do not
think that there is a right or wrong way, many would not like my method of
continuous click/treat, but it works for my dogs.
Nice training method! I taught pheobie how to do that based on high five, I
like your way though, seems easier xD
quick question.. for this trick specifically, when you click numerous times
within a very short period is that just to encourage what he’s doing? I’m
asking because for this trick I was told to just click once but use our
encouraging work ‘good’ instead of clicking.. He has gotten so big and
beautiful, Pam!
I don’t think you need him to lift his paw while he sits pretty. That just
happens to be what Twix does. Bandit crosses his paws when he sits pretty
and Isabelle moves her paws like she is trying to paw at the air with both
paws. So, make that trick unique to your dog. I think it is best to let the
dogs develop their own style and not be like other dogs. 🙂 I bet he is
just darling no matter what! :))
Great job! Again you amaze me! 🙂 When I get my future puppy the one I told
you about on Facebook, we will be looking at your videos is awe! :PP Btw,
did you wait to train this trick now that Twix is older and it doesn’t put
that much strain on his hips? 🙂 great job!
@claudiahoyle I like the idea of clicking approximations as well! I think
that shaping a behavior is awesome! Take care Claudia! Hope you have an
amazing 2011!
Hi there, So i have succeeded well with introducing the clicker tool – I
have just begun training to ‘sit pretty’ and he is doing very well,
however, i cannot get him to lift his left arm. Since he was a puppy, he
has had to shake his right hand for his dinner… Is that the problem?
Twix is doing a great job of balancing already! He learns everything so
fast – such a clever boy!
@pwindsor4 Hey 🙂 I have a Doberman that can do this! So i think that your
Boxer would be able to as well. But it does depend on the dog…. 🙂 Give
it a try 🙂
@stephennmcdonald Thanks for the suggestion, All of my dogs are now used to
the clicker and learn at a reasonable pace 🙂
0:17 what a serious face 😀 haha I love Twixxie, I can’t believe they grow
up soo fast 🙂
@pwindsor4 I think that a boxer could sit pretty! You know your dogs
best… I would say just keep working with him and have patience. If he
does it that is awesome, but if not, it is not really that big of a deal.
🙂 Just find another trick that he likes and wants to do. 🙂 Have a great
day! Good Luck! Pam
Twix is doing so well! Great job! =)
@nataliawasilewska97 Thanks! I know, he always makes a serious face when he
sits pretty. He is concentrating. HAHA! 🙂
this is pretty cool ive never seen it taught with a clicker. i like the
concept.
He is doing amazing! (:
Oh this looks great! I’ve been trying to teach my puppy (BC x Lab) this
trick and she gets so excited about he food she just launches her butt off
the ground. I like the idea of having her first balance on your arm though.
I did try the high five method but didn’t get much success because my arms
got all scratched up… Do you think a boxer could do this? My other dog
seems pretty hopeless, he can’t even balance on my chest when I try with
him.
@TheRabbitgrace Oh, I like the high five idea too! I think that there are
so many ways to train a behavior. It is nice to have many ideas! Take care!
Pam
I’ve been having some problems teaching this! It’s going real slow – both
my dogs don’t seem to have any balance! Lol! Got some good tips from your
video – supporting with an arm to get them used to the position and using a
treat they have to lick off the hand may speed things up abit! Thanks for
another great video! 🙂
@pamelamarxsen Ok, thanks so much. I just thought that I’d need the clicker
for this particular trick and it does seem to be more effective. I will
work with the marking words.
@nicolebodea Thank you! I can’t wait to see all the amazing things your
puppy will do when you get him or her! I did not really wait because of his
hips, but that is actually a great reason to wait. I was just busy working
on other stuff (socialization to people, places, and things mainly). Thank
you so much for all your nice words about my videos and my dogs! Have a
wonderful evening!
