My Ct Diary

[cremello]

Well inspired and motivated by Becky, I've been having a play with the boys.

Sunday did some with Max the T/B who has done a bit of Clicker Targeting before.

Targeting was good, we also had follow and stand, however I don't know whether he's getting bored as sometimes when I asked him to do something, he walked over to the fence to have a crib, then came trotting back to me and did what ever I asked before he went to have a crib - strange horse

Today I did some with the older T/B Jimmy, he loved it, took to targeting, we also got go back at the point of a finger, and follow. When I put him back in the field he stood at the fench weaving as if to say can I come in and do some more.

Everything I'm asking them to do I'm associating with a voice command, so that eventually I will just have to use the command and they will know the response they are supposed to give - IS THIS CORRECT.

Hopefully more CT snippets tomorrow

Hi Cremello

Yes thats correct, just make sure when you are teaching something that you say the word as the action happens and don't repeat the word to MAKE the action happen, its typically English to shout or repeat ourselves if we are  misunderstood!! If you have difficulties just remain silent and only ever focus on what you want.
So glad you are having fun, keep us posted with your results.
