Here’s Oskar & Klaus’ buddy, Smokey Joe, demonstrating what can be achieved with some nightly clicker training practice. Oskar & Klaus just started this training too, so we’ll see how well they do in a month or two. Their video is coming soon. Special thanks to John and Sherry for letting us film Smokey Joe in your house!

Clicker training is a method for training animals that uses positive reinforcement in conjunction with a clicker, or small mechanical noisemaker, to mark the behavior being reinforced. The clicker is used during the acquisition phase of training a new behavior to allow the animal to rapidly identify the precise behavior of interest.
