Another Training Breakthrough

[forbey]

Yesterday I got up, let Skittles out of his cage, fixed him his continental breakfast, got ready for work, took the dogs for a walk and then put Skittles back in the cage for the day.

I had to stay out of town until quite late. When I got home, Skittles treat bowl was on the top of his cage, with his half eaten evening treat, Skittles was securely in his cage sleeping.

This morning I got up, let Skittles out, jumped into the shower and when I got out, Skittles already had his morning breakfast, his water had been changed and my wife was walking the dogs. I put him back in the cage as I left for work.

As I drove to work I realized the training was finally working ...

My wife, who has seriously avoided Skittles for months, is now talking to the bird, fixing his food, leting him out of the cage and, at times, putting him back. And I didn't even have to use the clicker to train HER!

Hmm... using the clicker on your wife.

Methinks there are worse injuries that can be inflicted upon you than a bird bite...

I don't know what happened. I used the clicker on her, she didn't obey, and I don't remember anything else that happened that day.

I clicker trained my youngest son ! Call me crazy but he knows I mean business when I click at him. He knows it means his computer/ game boy time is over and he will immediately drop it when he hears the click. Clicker training works as well on people as it does pets LOL.

LoL....you guys are silly!!!! I may have to bring out the clicker to try on my partner, I bet it would be tossed one day before I get home....lol.....

Hahaha.....LOL
Well, I hope you are not going to fight over Skittles ..... Sounds to me like she likes this birdy too.....

every mile stone is great regardless how minimal it seems. good to know that the clicker was not brought out for her too
