I've been working on clicker and target training smokey, and at first I was using yogurt covered pellets from the aviain pet store in my town(they don't have much besides birds and chew toys) buts smaller then a sandwich bag and cost $13 with how many we use it's just not realistic. So I read online allot of CAG like unsalted sunflower seeds and will work for it if it's not in their regular diet, Smokey and jakes regular diet was a mix of sunflower seeds, pumkin seeds, small seeds that I don't know of and pellets, I also give them 4 nutraberries with this twice a day, and in between the day they eat apples, bannas, pasta, corn, broccoli and carrots. Sometimes a piece of whatever meat I eat for dinner. If I'm eating a donut or something sweet, that doesn't have chocolate I ussualy give them a little piece,it makes them,happy. ( is this a bad diet? Its what he was being fed before and I just added the nutraberries.) but I've removed the sunflower seeds from Smokey's diet starting last night how long should I wait before I start using them to clicker train him? Can I start right away? Will it mess it up that I started using another treat?
