Two weeks ago I started training Stuart and Matilda to do a few tricks. I am a bit nervous about animal training, I tend to become easily frustrated. So with Matt and Stu I am keeping it very easy going and informal, just having fun, making sure it is also fun for Stui and Mattie, going in with few expectations and letting myself be surprised. I am using a bit of clicker training, I make a kissing sound when they do it right, but otherwise I just go with the flow and do what seems natural. My two just LOVE training time, are doing amazingly well and are getting better and more into it all the time. I wish I had been braver and started this much sooner with Stuart. He is such an amazing, intelligent little mouse. In this video the second trick of tipping the tunnel, he invented all on his own :)
