The mighty pen

Do you feel as comfortable with a pen as you do with a clicker [0]? If you like to write, enter our training recipe contest. The winning article will be published here at clickertraining.com (including author byline and bio blurb with a link to your own website or other self-promotion). It's a great chance for you to show your stuff. The winner will also receive a $25 gift certificate to the clickertraining.com store.

The contest topic is How to Train "Give"—that is, teaching a dog to release something he's holding in his mouth. Articles should be between 800-1,200 words in length and contain concrete training steps. Your readers may or may not be familiar with various clicker training [0] terminology, so do not assume too much knowledge. Training techniques must be 100% clicker-based, all-positive training. Photos are not necessary, but are a plus.

To enter, send your article as a Word document attachment to writing submissions [1] by April 4, 2008.

We look forward to hearing from you!
