Hello all This morning, I did a bit of clicker training obedience with my dog Katie. One of the commands I am trying to instil is "On your mat!" I don't click or treat her until I hear the rustling noise of Katie scrunching up her mat. Later in the morning, obedience session out of my mind, I walked into the room where her mat is, Katie tagging along behind me as always. Suddenly, I felt Katie rush past me, and next thing I heard the distinct rustling noise of her getting on her mat. And there she was, sitting pretty, tail wagging and waiting for a treat! Is this a case of pre-emptive obedience? <s> Cheers, Gisele gisele@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
