  Home School Project - Clicker Training Reply Contact PJ is clicker training our Mini Cheeseberger puppy Lynn as part of his summer session work.  I'm planning to document the process as we go - one lesson per week.  We are using clickerlessons.com as our guide (or rather PJ is) - he gets little input from me, he has to read the instructions and figure it out pretty much on his own. There's a lot to be said for clicker training when a nine year old boy with spring fever, and a puppy with some major teenaged 'tude, can make rapid progress together, in ten minutes a day, with only each other and simple instructions for a guide.  I posted the video from last week here: http://community.dog.com/forums/t/79409.aspx Becca Shouse Maggie and Zhi (queen bees), Ben, Gus, Cord, Rocky, Ted (BCs), Lu and Tully (Maremma flock guardians) Irena Farm, Semora, NC

  Re: Home School Project - Clicker Training Reply Contact I think I like your version of "What I did on my summer vacation."    Can't wait to see all the vids.
