I taught my dog olive how to put her paws up on pedestrian crossing buttons and missed out the step with the yoghurt lids and just put my hand up against the box. She would touch the box fine when my hand was on it but not by itself. I made it more difficult for her than it needed to be. With jack, i just put a treat up against the box and bingo. But i like what christy is saying and will teach little alice this way. -original message- Subject: (VICT) clicker training to find a mailbox From: "Jackie Rumble" <jackie.rumble@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 31/10/2010 6:48 pm Hi guys, I've got a very strange question for you all. Well the other day I wrote about recharging the clicker and he knows what the dclicker means, he wags his tail and loves it. So now I need to teach Ollie how to find my mailbox in a row of other mail boxes in the post office, So To clicker train him to find it do I go to the box first, tap it then tell him what it is then have him approach it then click and treat him once he finds it? Or is there a different way to do it? Just curious. Can I also use clicker training for say finding the bank etc? Thanks :D Jackie, Ollie and cola
