I have found a training schedule that works for Jack! We've had some great progress in the past 2 or 3 days. We've even gone from just clicker training to target training! Jack is really getting it, and he loves his banana chips for treats, supplemented with tons of praise. What seems to work is instead of 5-10 minutes a time, just do it for 30 seconds-2 minutes depending on his focus, and repeat a lot, at least 7 times a day. For Jack, what seems to work is short training sessions but lots of repetitiveness and enforcement. I'm so excited!
When we love, we are courageous; and courage has nothing to do with being fearless, its about being willing to experience fear, even dread, to do what we must, without guarantee of outcome. - Vanna Bonta
