Liam the pug does especially well with the clicker, and just seeing it seems to calm him down.

Puzzles ... he couldn't care less. Clicker? ha ... nope. Praise works but only at a sort of 70% ratio. Lucky lucky for us - he just "wants" to please. So obedience has not been a problem.

Each of our pets appreciates getting to spend individual time with me, instead of competing for attention with others. I've heard that toys are a good alternative for dogs and cats too. But our household of pets mostly thrives on cheese, treats, and praise.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591345148771025453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026253872096955116.post-44075318884186808882017-02-08T15:13:37.338-08:002017-02-08T15:13:37.338-08:00Oh yes!
