 28-31.8.2008 The basics of clicker training

  It was my weekend to be educated by chicken. I attented Jaana's and Tommy's (Trainer's Choice) clicker training tecniques' basic course. I want to improve my skills as a clicker trainer for the dogs, so chicken are perfect teachers. They are very quick and do not forgive clicking mistakes -- like dogs.
Great weekend in many ways. Also, my boys will tell if I learned something (improved my clicking skills).

10.5.2008 Golden Ring, obedience championship, Helsinki

 Day before the test, the officials contacted me, since these was one opening start place in open class. First I refused to start with Simon (Ch Talliska Tallisman) since we haven't trained obedince at all since last test. However, we did it. Considering the circumstances, Simon did OK receiving Open class's 2nd price. Only three points from the first prize.

 Niro (Ch Ritzilyn Jimmy Mac) started in Open class almost causing me a heart attack. He failed in the very first part of the test (laying  three minutes on the ground along with other dogs, owners are hidden). Rest of the test he worked like a dream, and for my surprice we managed to gather 155 points, only missing 5 points from the first price.
What a workload! These boys just won't keep my live easy and simple! The judge was Mrs. Marita Packalen.
