Hi Ray,
Thanks for your interest.
Unfortunately I don’t have these videos on video or dvd. At present they are online videos only.
Sorry!
Hopefully your sister will be able to get to a computer at some stage.
Thanks again.

Thanks Kiuko,
I’m sure you and your Labrador will be able to handle this trick, and many others.
Labradors are a great breed – and very smart! They respond beautifully to clicker training.
All the best.

Thanks for your comments.
I’m sure your 4 month old GSD will have no trouble with the Play Dead. They are very smart and you are beginning your trick training at a great age.
All the best.

Yep good point.
It can be harder teaching the Play Dead to a larger dog. One reason is their sheer size and another is that they may be more dominant and don’t readily accept a very submissive position such as lying on the side.
Good luck with your Husky.

August 14th, 2009 at 11:45 amGreat video, I’ve been trying to teach my 80 year old MOM how to train her Jack Russell, without luck ( (maybe I should have used the clicker on her LOL). So I decided to show her your videos. She is now able to train her dog with them. If an 80 year old woman can watch your videos and learn, so can anyone, Thanks

Hello again,
If …
o again,
If you’re happy with the training and progress of your Basset I’d just stick with what you have been doing with him/her.
On the other hand it will be great to start out clicker training the Bulldog and Shih-Tzu. Please note that it can be tricky when using the clicker if there is more than one dog around – all of the dogs respond to the clicker.

Sorry to bug you …
August 14th, 2009 at 11:45 amSorry to bug you again lol. As I said we are getting 2 new dogs within the next week, a 7 month old bulldog and 2 month old Shih Tzu. Our 4 year old Basset has the basic training, no clicker used. Since i will be using it on the 2 new dogs do you think it would be wise to do some with the Basset as well or should I just stick with what she has known?

Hi, thanks for your …
Hi, thanks for your question.
Yes the clicker is only used when teaching the trick (or any behavior) and is always faded out when the trick is mastered. The clicker gives great feedback to your dog during the learning process but is not needed once your dog has a firm understanding of what you are requesting of him/her.
I would definitely recommend that you give clicker training a go – it is brilliant!

OK thanks. Here is …
August 14th, 2009 at 11:45 amOK thanks. Here is another question. Using a clicker would be new for me. I have always used treats, hand gesture and voice. I’m getting 2 new dogs though and thought I would at least look into the clicker. After it seems like they have mastered a trick, should they do it just as well without the use of the clicker and only using the voice and hand command? Not really understanding how you get rid of the clicker I guess since it is probably not realistic to always have one on hand.

It’s much easier to …
It’s much easier to work on one trick at a time. For most dogs it will become too confusing if you mix and match tricks at the one time.
Why not keep it as simple as possible for your dog by teaching and completing one trick at a time?
Then as soon as you are done, move onto your next trick. You’ll have a wide range of tricks done before you know it.

August 14th, 2009 at 11:45 amDo you recommend mastering one trick before moving on to another or is it ok to work on different tricks, such as doing a session earlier in the day with one trick and then a later session in the day with another trick?
