Ever since I started clicker training with Oscar I've been itching to teach him something else besides target.... (we've got to the point of putting a word to target and clicking only for a touching).
Today we had a short session and Oscar gets frustrated when he thinks he should be rewarded and is not (not actually related to the clicker), he started a-roo-rooing and barking, I seized the opportunity and started clicking for it, low and behold we have a speak in the making! Let me tell you guys, this is like our holy grail - I've made a couple of half hearted attempts to teach this before but he isn't a vocal dog so its hard to mark it, but he picked it up in no time!
So, did I commit a faux pas?
I'm so excited about this, I hope not! Its like the one thing I've not been able to teach...
