  • and sometimes boiled chicken. The only reason I don't use raw when training is because I don't really like to, haha. It's breakfast and dinner, but they get cooked food for training. You have to find what motivates YOUR dog. Which is why clicker training works. For a lot of dogs, the simple 'click-click' of the clicker means the world to them - more than any silly treat could.

  • @xdunlapx You have to sorta teach your dog how to be toy and/or food motivated. My friend had a dog that had NO drive, and now you can't even tell that the dog was struggling before. One thing my friend does is use raw chicken (don't worry, dogs are actually more than capable of handling raw food - my dog is fed exclusively raw meat) since it's smelly. I use boiled chicken liver (it smells horrible, but both of my dogs go crazy for it) (Cont.)

  • This only works if your dog is food-motivated. Mine isn't. Nor is he play/toy-oriented. He's just lazy. So I haven't been able to train him much.

  • Good explanation about the 3 oclock and 6 oclock positions; and particularly a mention of how much harder it was for the dog to go from the 12 oclock position back to the mat!

  • Great! Had the dog done targeting exercises before? Only bad thing was that there was over a full minute of black screen at the end. Seems to be a 5 minute vid with 3 1/2 minutes of action with 1 1/2 minutes of black nothing at the end.
