    Aww, the thrill of bridging the species gap

    Yesterday I taught Kivi Tarro to sit with the clicker. The look in his eyes when he realised he knew what I wanted him to do and could do it and get a chunk of meat in the process was just a beautiful thing.

    If only he realised being locked in the pen is inevitable and resistance is futile!

    It is wonderful to see that 'oh I gotcha' look.  It makes you proud and happy all at once!  Way to go!

    The lightbulb moment is always memorable. Once you get that, it usually doesn't take long to get it on cue and put the clicker for that behaviour (in that environment - you may need it if you go to a new place!) away. Congrats Kivo Tarro on your first learned behaviour!
