24 November:
We have started clicker training. So far we are at lesson #1: I click and immediately Henry gets a treat. The manuals insist that this is the way to have Henry associate a click with something positive. Basic conditioning.
It seems to work: Henry looks at me, I click, and he gets a treat. I’m just not sure who is conditioning whom.

Heather: Wieso läuft mir eigentlich immer das Wasser im Mund zusammen, wenn die Rede von Konditionierung ist?
Hank: I thought it was the other way around… Click and then smack them across the room. pretty soon they hear the click and stop whatever it is that they were doing. 🙂
Hazel: .versucht haben wir das auch, ich kann inzwischen schlafend rückwärts durch einen brennenden Reifen springen, wenn eine der Fellchen Hunger hat.
