In our county, there is a 6-week clicker training class offered to 4Hers
county-wide. Participation each year is between 10 - 20 teams, ie member & dog.
Since the first year, it's requested every year.

> For those that don't know, clicker training uses a click sound paired with a
reward (whatever is perceived as yummy or otherwise rewarding by the animal) to
capture and shape behaviors. So things like management behaviors of leading
animals one place to another, trailoring them, calling them to you, cleaning
feet, standing still or even for tricks. All mammals and birds can be clicker
trained (from bunnies & cats, dogs to alpacas and horses and everything
between).

> I'm interested in learning to use the clicker training for our dog group (have
20 kids in my project). I've never heard of it being used for rabbits -
although I can see it with birds. I looked into the clicker training for dogs
(my son bought a clicker), but they warn against using it improperly and I don't
have the resources to know how to use it properly yet. I wish you lived in our
area - we'd take you up on your offer!
