Clicker training

Postby karcar » Sat Aug 28, 2010 11:59 am

Hey Gang,
I just started clicker training my Zon she is doing great, but my half moon is actually just weaned and I wasn't too sure if he is still too young, what do you think?
Thank, Karen

The nice thing with reward based training vs. aversion based training is that there is no such thing as too young, as long as it's within the current physical and emotional abilities of the trainee. :thumbsup:
