At least new to us - at the shelter - Erin you'll love this, we have begun clicker training and yep it seems to be working.
Right now we are all learning (thank dog you can't hurt them with mis timed clicks) but already it is amazing how quiet the shelter gets as soon as they figure out there's a clicker in the room. I know Erin, you've been telling me it would work.
right now we are working on getting our timing and spotting behaviors - we are clicking for coming forward in the run, being quiet and keeping all four on the floor - we'll expand it when we are all better.
But...it seems to be working and the dogs seem to love making people click.
