Sit and Down Commands Success

Zachary has learned the Sit and Down commands using Clicker Training. Both of these commands were reliable for me, inside and outside the house with some distractions. I brought in another person to see if Zachary’s training would transfer to another person. I was so excited to see Zach actually think before making the move to sit or lay down. I was smiling from ear to ear, as he was flawless, both inside and outside the house. For the first 2 weeks we tried the traditional way to train, with ok results. Week 3, I started using the Clicker and it took one or two sessions for Zach to figure out the Click – Treat method. It is amazing the difference, he is actually thinking after the command/cue is given. I am hooked and will not go back to the traditional way to train again.
My next challenge will be to get Zachary to let go of things in his mouth. Coming when called is also high on the wish list of behaviors for Zachary.
