Darwin and Silvia Trkman puppy class!

Hello here I am again reporting from Bandon,

In the last post I told you about Darwin and the clicker training. The two first videos were uploaded to the Silvia trkman website and assessed by her and the comments were very useful to all of us, thanks to them I am enjoying loads of treats...:).
Here it goes:
This is the firs comment for the videos in the last post:
Hm, do I hear clicks and not see you rewarding? After every click, there should be a reward!!! I think you should make your sessions drastically shorter – set alarm clock and allow you 1.5 min to start with and in that time, try to click&deliver as many treats as you can! That would be the best exercise for his focus, his focus&motivation is not there yet. Also, stop helping. You’re asking him to do that and another thing, you will get wrong attitude towards work that way. HE should ask you to do that or another thing. For now, I wouldn’t focus on that or another trick at all, just keep your hands at the back and don’t say a word, just sit and observe, click anything he does and throw a treat for each click.

Now, look at the new video Eva taped yesterday and the comment from silvia below:


Wow, that’s definitely MUCH better! :)
