anastasia: I have a book and several clickers. I started a bit of training with the older pup (6 months old now) and just am getting her used to the clicker. I click once and then offer a treat (as per the book). From what I've read, they use this system on dolphins (with a whistle but same principle). I have a lot to learn.

I tried the first exercise but it didn't work. I think the dog was distracted so I'm trying again later. It was supposed to get the dog to follow it's tail in a circle but maybe I was doing something wrong.

Tuesday: clicker is instant feedback for the dogs...you say "sit",the dog sits,as SOON as his butt his the floor,you click,then treat....they begin to learn the click means something good (treat) is coming as to when you use just the treat,you have a few seconds before you can get the treat to their mouth

I haven't tried this, but it does sound promising as there is some vet support and favorable testimonials.  I can't see why this wouldn't also work for "human" animals.    :-)

Modified by The Col (5. June 2010, 16:51:45)
Tuesday: At the 1992 American Academy of Forensic Sciences conference in New Orleans, a forensic pathologist stated that individuals living alone sometimes died unexpectedly and unnoticed. He claimed that, in his experience, a pet dog would go for several days before it resorted to eating the owner's body. A pet cat would wait only a day or two. What he didn't mention was that cats are obligate carnivores and, unlike dogs (which are more omnivorous), cats cannot consume other potential foodstuffs that might be lying around the home (fruit, veg, cookies). For a dog, the corpse might be a last resort, but for an obligate carnivore, it may be the first resort.

Like other scavengers, those cats are doing a clean-up job. Without scavengers, we would be knee-deep in rotting flesh. Even when bodies are decently buried, it is being invisibly consumed
