I really haven't done all that much clicker training with these pups, so their impressive skills here are quite a complement to them. We have been doing LOTS of other things and then I noticed that I was annoyed at the pups often when I walked in with them because of mouths and claws. The light bulb turned on and my priorities shifted. Don't like the behavior? Teach an alternate behavior. The pups are back to being a joy to be around, and I am sure they are happier too because they are calm and mindful in how they ask for my attention. Beautiful, and so easy.
