Hello again,
I always click and give them a treat - tiny bits of dried food with chicken which they both like. And when I am extra pleased with what they do I give them their absolute favorite treat - freeze dried codfish, and pet them and tell them how beautiful and clever they are. I do not know if this is the right thing to do, but it works for us. And I always end the training session when they do something right - I never end on failure. So if they will not lift their paw or whatever I am trying to teach them, I just do a bit of targeting, which is always a success and then end the session. And sometimes after a good session they get to play with the laser pointer (the red dot).

But I am no master, I have not done this for very long. So it is "learning by doing" for all three of us.

Ronja, Johnny and Anne
