Hey everyone, thanks in advance for some ideas here!
Jabberwocky is now a little over three months old and we have had him for three weeks (today!). We have been clicker training him every other day or so (a single command 10-15 mins at a time) and he is great with stepping up, stepping down, jumping to shoulder, and come here (targeted with a finger tap and command).
What would be a good next step for Jabberwocky? We want to play with ring/stack toys and to train him for "so big" with his wings spread out eventually. I am not sure if that is the next step or is that too big of a leap. Any ideas?
So Big - I am thinking of three stages:
Not sure at all how to go about ring/stack training. I will be scouring the yahoo clicker training group soon.
Thanks!

So Big - I am thinking of three stages:
- "wings" - touching his wings and getting a finger under them
- "wings up" - me gently holding his wings out, for inspection, etc
- "so big" - flaring and holding his wings out for show
Not sure at all how to go about ring/stack training. I will be scouring the yahoo clicker training group soon.
