Why I Love Freestyle: That Unique Connection

Michele Pouliot — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:00:00 -0500

When I first took the plunge into freestyle, I already had a vision of a routine I wanted to do with The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Ennio Morricone's awesome soundtrack from the movie of the same name. I envisioned telling an entertaining story about struggling for the Confederate gold. Thank goodness I chose something a bit easier for the first freestyle routine my dog, Listo, and I would do together, and then had the time to really think about my vision for Good, Bad, Ugly.

On Being a Change Maker

So you've become a clicker trainer! Naturally you are very excited. You want other people around you to stop using punishment-based methods and start clicking. So you introduce the clicker at your dog club or high school or wherever you are using it. And guess what: people not only don't change, they get mad at you.

Clicking in the USA!—Behind the Scenes at Good Morning America

Aaron Clayton — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:56:00 -0500

The car picks us up at 5:30 a.m. and brings us to the studio in Times Square, where we enter via a side door. We feel very VIP-ish. A great gleaming silver freight-size elevator takes us to the studio and to our ready room. KP makes sure that Mia—our demo dog from the New York Humane Society (who arrives separately)—does not see us or stay with us. Karen does not want to get Mia all excited ("Look, the lady with the hot dogs!"). We know it’s going to be a long morning for us and for Mia.

Its been good while it lasted

Clicker vs. Traditional Training: What's the Real Difference?

Karen Pryor — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0500

I was talking on the phone recently to a magazine writer—a nice guy who used to be a working cowboy. He spends a lot of time thinking about kind vs. cruel animal training. "So, is that the real difference between clicker training and traditional training?" he asked. "Is it that one is more positive than the other?
