Waltham, MA, April 5, 2006—Just in time for Easter, Karen Pryor Clickertraining has published a new and indispensable guide for bunny owners. Getting Started: Clicking with Your Rabbit by Joan Orr and Teresa Lewin will show you exactly how to bring out the best in your bunny friend.
Rabbits
What? Train a Rabbit?
By Joan Orr on 01/01/2006Rabbits… furry and lovable, of course; quirky and silly, sometimes; full of energy and mischief, undoubtedly; but trainable? You bet! You're probably training your rabbit without even realizing it. Is he litter-box trained? Does he come to see you when you go to his cage? Then you've already taken your first steps.
Training Your Rabbit to Jump on Cue
By Joan Orr on 01/01/2006There are many different ways a bunny can jump. She can jump over a pole, through a hoop, onto a platform, or into a basket. This trick teaches your bunny to jump over a pole, but with some creative baby steps, jumping can easily be generalized to jumping in other situations.
Clicker Trained Bunnies Gain Confidence
By Karen Pryor on 11/01/2004Animal shelters are taking in more and more "house bunnies" these days, and looking for homes for them. Bunnies make great house pets; they quickly learn to use a litter box, they're clean, they are active in the evening when you get home from work, and they can be very amusing. The bunnies in shelters have usually been spayed or neutered as well, so you can have more than one without worries.
Clicker Training Your Small Pet
By Joan Orr on 03/01/2004Clicker training small pets is a rewarding experience for animal and owner both. Rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats and other small pets are entirely trainable. Clicker training can help develop positive behavior, as well as a bond between human and animal. Joan Orr's article on clicker training small pets, as published in fall 2005 issue of PETS magazine, is available online as a PDF.
