Clicker Training Brittany Pups #2



Here's another brief peek into clicker training the "Mega Litter", a beautiful new litter of Brittany puppies born on April 23, 2011 to our Molly and Scooby.  This is step 2 of training and similar glimpse of step 3 has also been recorded, to be posted soon. My goal in clicker training this litter of Brittany puppies is a simple one and is based on the positive results we saw with Treasure and Gibson's "The Nova Litter".  earlier this year.  I want to be able to approach the pups and have them all remain sitting. This early clicker training is laying the foundation for all future training attempts and is exercising their 'brain'.  This particular method is based upon an article in Pat Hastings book "Another Piece of the Puzzle" called "Clicker Training a Litter" written by Karen Pryor and originally published in the AKC Gazette.
