Clicker Training Round the World!
See what folks are saying about clicker training!
Grants Pass, Oregon. Liz & Allen Victor, Llama Owners. "We tried working with one of our most shy llamas yesterday. He began the session running from Allen whenever he would lift up the target. But within a short 15 minutes the same llama was following Allen all around the barn to touch the target. Amazing! Our goal with this llama is to get him to accept the halter without a big fuss. He is VERY difficult to halter, but once on the halter, is very easy to handle. Now it looks as if this goal will not be difficult to achieve."
Boston, Massachusetts. Karen Pryor, Marine mammal trainer and author of Don't Shoot the Dog! "One of the joys of clicker training is that it is so accessible to first timers. People that have had very little experience can have immediate success with this type of training."
Hurley, Wisconsin. Kris Hopkins, Llama Owner. "In two 10 or 15 minute sessions I have taught a maiden with an attitude to put her nose in the halter. (Haltering her before was a real contest in will and I JUST HATE the "break em" training methods.) Now she is coming up to me and craning her nose forward. My feeling about it is that since llamas are highly intelligent, this presents them with a problem solving puzzle and they are just delighted when they get it right. Training becomes fun for both me and the llama. I woudl certainly recommend the clicker training for anyone to try."
Seattle, Washington. Ellen Leach, Behavioral Sciences Northwest. I'd like to emphasize that the term "clicker training" is just slang for saying "applying the technology of behavioral principles." Often when people see clicker training, their questions focus on how to use the clicker. But the real heart of the matter is how to use behavioral principles. The part that's most difficult for people to learn is how to replace punishment with reinforcement, but that's the part the responsible for reliable animal performance."
Woodinville, Washington. Lenor Kobayashi, Llama Owner. "Clicker training teaches the llamas things that makes life easier and safer for them, and safer for you too.
The clicker is fabulous! The degree of trust is incredible. Everything finally connects!"
