Amos and Andy training day one

Postby Tman007 » Thu Jul 24, 2014 4:42 pm

I have had Amos and Andy for a month now and thought I would start to get them use to the clicker. Now the funny thing is Amos has been going through a (I don't want to step up) faze. So today was training day one. I started by braking up the treats into little pieces. As I was working with them on click treat click treat and so on. A funny thing happened I put my hand out for Amos to step up, and up he came just like that I clicked and treated and away we went. I would put him on his door click treat and then I would put my hand out and up he would come. after a few times doing this after I put him down on his door he would turn around right away and be lifting a foot up to step up. So I have to say that I have seen this training work first hand and both my parrots are doing great. Now all I have to do is relax and take it one click at a time LOL :gcc: :jenday:
It takes a great man to give advice tactfully
But a greater to accept it graciously
