I am curious about how many of you, my web friends, are "clicker" trained?
I myself would never respond to such a menial device to get my attention. Talk to me, pet me, love me.
However, that is me. There are many other quadrapeds that prefer to hear the clean simple click to convey the command. In fact, they even have their own training conference, Clicker Expo.
Animal trainers, veterinary professionals, shelter volunteers, and pet owners from all over go to the expo and attend different sessions during the three-day conference. The philosophy behind ClickerExpo is “improving, learning, practicing, and sharing.”

Hey Moon,
My Dad use to work at a zoo and the keepers used those clickers to train various animals, like the African hunting dogs, primates, etc, to present themselves for certain medical exams, (another etc). But I'm with you. Food, belly rubs and love.
I think I could use one of those clicker thingys to help train my humans. Sometimes they stray too far from my side and I have to go fetch them when I want something. That really cuts into my nap time.
Woof!
