I think a new thread for each lesson is a great idea. Then the lessons will be easy to find, and people can read the comments and clarifications on that particular lesson. You could number the thread titles to make things easier.

I am going to create a new thread for each lesson. Lesson one will stay here AND be added to a new thread. Now each lesson can be posted and people can post their questions and feedback on each particular thread.

This is so great. It was suggested that my clicker lessons go into a special sub-forum of the training court. All of the clicker lessons will go in here and will be organized so that they can be easily located. Each lesson will be a sticky. You will still be able to comment, get feedback and ask questions, it's just that each lesson will be made into a sticky.

I am so excited that there are a lot of people interested in this. It is a really good way for people to learn and get feedback.

I'm not having very good luck finding a good reward for Risa yet. Remember, she is a recently weaned baby. Tonight I put a plate in her cage with all different kinds of treats...pine nuts, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, dried mango, dried coconut, an avicake, a nutriberry, dried banana...I'm not sure what else...but she went and got some of her pellets and didn't even try one thing on the plate. I know that's not unusual when introducing new foods, but is that going to be a problem with clicker training? Should I hold off on the training until she's more used to different foods and toys? Thanks.

Yes, you definitely need to be able to use food rewards. Have you tried to offer them in different ways like individually or from your hand? What species is she again?
