7 week old Border Collie Hand Targeting

7 Week old Border Collie "Sky" has her first lesson on how to hand target using clicker training. The clicker was charged over the course of 3 days in sessions that only lasted a few seconds before this behaviour was taught. This is her first ever clicker lesson.

Hi!but not too young to start this training?

[CaninePawsAcademy]

@Aleandro25 Clicker training can be started as young as 4 weeks of age - as it is force-free and motivational it's not an issue to start early. Sky does not have all her jabs yet, so since we are unable walk on streets this is a great way to provide her with exercise and stimulation!

My border collie goes ballistic when I turn on my signal light, he has somehow mixed it with the clicker.

I've been using your example in this video with my friend's 8.5y/o teach schnausser. It's slow going, but he's making great progress and is closer and closer to doing recall training when he's distracted. Each session, I learn a bit more about what he is and is not learning and how I need to change what I'm doing to get the right result. Your videos are amazing. Thank you!!!
