Hi all...I am finally done with my finals so I am back. Missed everyone.
Has anyone tried clicker training their maltese? I have found a wonderful trainer but she uses clicker training and lots of positive reinforcement to train. Lacey is doing great but we need some refreshment on our basic training plus she is starting to get to the point if we tell her to do something she thinks about it before doing it. So back to training for both of us. This trainer understands toy breeds and how I don't/won't put a collar on her. Some trainers I have spoken with insisted on a collar around her neck. Lacey wears a harness and this trainer has no problems with that. She has only two other dogs in this class and both are on the smaller size but if Lacey looks or acts scared she can seperate us until Lacey feels more comfortable around the other two dogs. Lacey can be a little bit nervous when she is in new situations so this trainer is being very understanding in that regard. So if anyone has tried the clicker training let me know what you thought of it. I just want Lacey to relearn her basics and be a little more comfortable around new people.
