Dorcas hates her banana-flavored Baytril. . . .

Tornadoes today

Nora — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 17:59:04 -0500

No training outside in the harnesses for the rabbits today, not when there is a tornado watch out till 10 pm for our county. . .

The training type

Nora — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 17:45:25 -0500

I wonder if the animal trainer is by nature a lonely breed, seeking out greater companionship with animals than what is available with humans. . .

Indications are that Maddie may not be entirely enthused about the new training regimen . . .

Healthy Treats for Rabbits

Nora — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 13:18:33 -0500

I'm always on the look out for healthy options in rabbit treats. I have even been trying to introduce several new options that would be more healthful . . .

Success finding training props

Nora — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 10:29:58 -0500

I wasn't sure where to go to get the training props I sought -- a hoop for the rabbits to jump through and small traffic cones for them to weave in and out of as in an agility course. . . .

Sunday Afternoon Training

Nora — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 18:55:35 -0500

This afternoon only Jemimah and Dorcas went in harness; Maddie already did that yesterday. So as the sun set in the sky

Victory

Nora — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 12:35:42 -0500

Victory! Dorcas followed the target stick through the cat crunchy tunnel twice. . .

Straightening out diet and treats

Clicker-training question

Using the Clicker without a treat as the reinforcement itself. . .

Target-sticks for rabbits -- looking for suggestions

Nora — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 15:49:01 -0500

I have been using the "traditional target stick", the P.E.T. sold by clickertraining.com, with my rabbits, even though it is recommended only for use with small dogs, and I am thinking about using a different target stick. . . .

Private and/or Group Instruction

Nora — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 18:34:00 -0500

I couldn't decide for awhile whether to use"private lessons" or "group lessons" with my three pet rabbits. . .

Trying out a new training area

Nora — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 12:08:42 -0500

Well, there's more than one use for a bathroom. . .

The Importance of a Training Area

Nora — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 19:47:46 -0500

Outdoors is no place. . .

Introductions all around

Nora — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 16:52:20 -0500

Dorcas was alone in the Purple Room, and Maddie and Jemimah were playing in their Bunny Cottage on the front lawn, in their pen. . .

Juggling?

Nora — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 14:11:09 -0500

The clickers and the target stick have arrived!

Introducing the Target-stick to Maddie, Dorcas and Jemimah

Nora — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 12:28:18 -0500

My impatience for the arrival of the UPS truck continues, and in my spare time I devise a target-stick for the rabbits out of a piece of an old wardrobe that had fallen apart.

Waiting for the UPS Truck

Nora — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 13:50:15 -0500

It seems the clicker and the target stick cannot get here quickly enough. I wait on the front porch swing, wishing the UPS truck were rounding the bend in the road, ready to deliver the packages. But I know it will be another few days. The rabbits seem so ready for this kind of training. They are so eager to please and do love their yoghurt berry and yoghurt carrot and carrot cake treats.
