My mini lop, Filip (zobel siamese brown, almost three years old), showing some tricks he's learned through clicker training.
The reward I give him is sunflower seeds and normal rabbit treats that you can buy in any pet store. Sunflower seeds are very fatty, though, so be careful with the amount you give!
The video is shot in Sweden, which explains the weird language. All I'm saying, though, is pretty much "spin", "stand" and "good" etc.
At the end of the video I'm trying to teach him to lie down. I'm using the moment where he's usually lieing down anyways, clicking at the very moment he lies down. This makes him realize what what he's doing is the desired behaviour and eventually he'll try to do it deliberately to try to get a treat. After a while you add the command "Lie down". In this video he didn't associate the word to the behaviour yet, so here I'm just adding the word to make him realize that what he's doing is actually called "Lie down", or "Ligg", which is the Swedish word I'm using. Eventually he'll pick it up and do it when I tell him to. ...I hope. ;)

Hi! Yes, the sooner you start training her, the better. Rabbits are pretty strong minded, so you an be pretty firm when you tell her "no". I push mine away pretty bluntly if he tries to chew cables or something, as I say "no" with a sharp voice. After a few times like that, it's enough only to say "no" from a distance and they'll quickly stop whatever they are not allowed to. Though, their bodies are fragile, so always push them away with care and never inflict pain in them.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

The easiest trick is to teach him to stand up on his hind legs. You simply just give him a treat from higher and higher up and finally he has to stand up to get it. You then add the command you want to use, e.g. "Up", and after a while of saying "Up" right as he's reaching as far up as he can, you try to only say "Up" (and maybe just quickly sweep your hand over him, if he doesn't get it the first times). He should after a while stand up on his own when you say "Up". Good luck!

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

the animals really tend to love it, cause they have to think and try to get it right in order to get their reward, which is something fun for them, so they are really trying to strive for it. :) So, yes, it is just like a game to the bunny (or whatever animal you're training). :) Though, to really get it right, I would absolutely recommend to read up on it a lot more, since it's such a delicate and precise training method that is more effective the more you know about it. ;)

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

Thank you! :) Momo will most likely stop leaving little droppings within a year or something, I would say, hopefully even sooner. It took Filip 3,5 years to stop, though males are usually slower with the litter training. But if you've noticed progress with the litter training already, that's a good sign. Filip jumps up on the couch, even though he knows he's not allowed. So when I see him up there and start moving towards the couch, he'll playfully flick his head and jump down quickly. :P

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

You just give him a little treat as soon as he comes up to you, so he knows that coming up to you is always something positive. Once he knows that, you can start calling his name AS HE IS running up to you. That way he will associate running up to you to get a treat with his name. After a few days or weeks, he should be coming up to you as you're calling his name ahead of time. ;)

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

Thank you! Actually, that trick was just in the process of being taught. He was tired after doing the other tricks, so I knew he'd lay down. So right as I saw that he was about to, I said the word "lay down" ("ligg" in Swedish) and he automatically did and got rewarded for it. If I would've continued doing this for a few days (or weeks, maybe) he'd soon associate the word and the action with each other and hopefully do it on command. But for some reason I never finished training him to lay down.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

Haha, thank you! He loves training me. :) He became deaf two years ago, though, so now we're doing everything only with hand signals, but he still loves it and gets really eager when he realizes we're about to practice. :) I just checked out your videos. You have some really cute bunnies. :)

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

Once he can do a full circle with your guidance, you can add the commando, eg. "Spin" as you're doing it and then, when it seems like he understands, see if he does it when you just tell him "Spin" and point in the direction he's used to spin. If yours just run away, he probably doesn't expect anything fun to happen around you, so try to be very patient with him and feed him little treats when he comes up to you.

@RoslynLamb 14 лет назад

I'm very impressed at the level of training. Excellent and clearly Filip is very happy doing it.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

You just take the treat and move it in a sircle, slowly, halfway around his head in one direction, so that he follows it with his head. Give the treat once he's turned his head only a little bit. Once he knows to follow it around, you can increase the circle until you move the treat in a full circle around his head. Just train him in really short sessions of maybe just 3-4 minutes at the time and do it in really, really small steps.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

Just rewarded him with treats as soon as he did come to me (without me saying anything). Then I added the "call" as he was on his way over to me. After a while he associated "Filip, come" with getting treats as he came up to me, so he started doing it as I called him. ;)

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

If he's tame enough that he comes up to you, you can just start clicker training him.It works fine to do it outside, too.

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

It takes only a few days to train them to do certain trix. Rabbits are actually really clever. They pick stuff up quickly. They only smell if you don't clean the cage often enough. If you clean their litter box evey day, they do not smell. It's only their urine laying around that smells. And most rabbits learns to pee only in their litterbox. Filip sometimes gets in a hurry and runs all through the apartment only to get to his litter box and pee. ;)

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

He nibbles things occationally, but stops when I tell him "no". But he is the one rabbit of all the rabbits I've had in my life who does it the least. It usually just comes down to luck in what kind of rabbit you get - a nibbler or not. Just make sure that Momo always have stuff to nibble on in her cage and let her know that that's the only place she's allowed to nibble on things. Rabbits learn quickly to hear the difference in your tone of voice if you're mad or not.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

Lure it with a treat that you hold to the side of it's head. Give it the treat when it's turning it's head to get it or to look. Then hold up the treat further and further back and reward with the treat when it turns. Let your arm holding the treat come in from above the rabbit and continue rewarding until it moves it feet to reach the treat. Reward more and more until you have a full cirkle. Patience and many short training sessions will do the trick. ;) Good luck!

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

When it's hot you should put the cage in the shade (the rabbit can never sit in the sun, not even when it's not that hot out) and hold ice cubes against his ears and give ice cubes with pieces of apple in them so that he can eat them. Like a bunny popcicle. :)

@nancyspain8765 8 лет назад

"FILIP" is adorable & can see the strong bond between you🙂. 'Tackar' for an entertaining & helpful video! I have recently been introduced to "clicker" training & hoping such training will work with obedience as well as it seems to perfect trick training🙃🤗! Igen, 'tackar så mycket'.

@yoshiokafutaba3890 9 лет назад

He's so smart and adorable!

@nocomment4642 9 лет назад

What a gorgeous rabbit and what a wonderful video! Thank You, I really enjoyed that. I am looking into clicker training my rabbits and has really encouraged me.

@AngelaMangeldoveinca 13 лет назад

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is AMAZING!!!!! I do have a clicker and I will try this on my new bunny. You are a good trainer. Keep up the good work and keep me up to date.

@keelyhanson1451 11 лет назад

The kiss.... ❤ that was adorable!😍🐰

@Tinwelende 11 лет назад

Every trick took about a total of five minutes to an hour to teach him, spread out over several days.

@dreamofhope1 12 лет назад

I didn't know bunnies were this trainable. Evidently, you have a very strong bond with yours, and some incredible skill. :)

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

Thanks for your comment and sorry I haven't answered until now. You can get a clicker at pretty much any pet store. Getting him to side kick jump will probably be very hard, since they only do it when they're really happy or excited. You should really try to teach him easier things first before you take on the side kick jump (if ever). Shaking hands is also a hard one, but read up on clicker training as much as possible before you start and you'll figure out the rest while you read.

@lifewithcarl6051 9 лет назад

Tinwelende What a great example of clicker training for rabbits, you and your bunny are really great inspiration!!

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

You are absolutely right. More people need to learn about their intelligence. Read up as much as you can on both species before you decide. Filip runs loose in my apartment as soon as I'm home, so he's more like a dog that you don't need to take outside for walks. Rats are more active all the time and not as cuddly as a rabbit, but you can teach both of them trix. Just remember that both species should be at least two individuals living together since they're very social animals. Good luck! :)

@RandomPanda49 12 лет назад

so cute!! Ive been wanting a lop-eared bunny for a while now and i feel ready for one. they look absolutely adorable and think training it would be fun. and once you've got a few tricks down, its easier and funner(if that's a word)...but thats just me. your bunny is adorable!! and i love his name- Filip

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

Yes, I'm from Sweden. He's from a breeder called "Cumulus Kaniner". Just look for serious breeders online and try to get in touch with them and ask questions about the rabbits' health and all the questions you can think about before you decide to buy one from them. If you can go and visit the breeder before you buy one (to see that the rabbits are kept under good conditions and to meet the parents of the rabbit you are going to buy and so on), you should definately do that. :) Good luck!

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

Rabbits usually have different preferences. It's very individual what their favorite treats are. But just go to your local pet store and see what rabbit treats they sell. From there you just have to test your way through to finding your rabbits favorite treats. My rabbit's favorite was the white sunflower seeds.

@Tinwelende 11 лет назад

White sunflower seeds. Though, they are very fatty and not very nutritious, so you should only give a small amount per day. You can basically try giving it any small pieces of food that suits a rabbit (tiny pieces of carrot, corn flakes, etc.). The trick is to find their absolute favorite treat that it's willing to work for. :)

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

Hi! I think you should start right away, but be gentle with the amount of training and your demands on him in the beginning, before he's used to it. Though, age wise, it's perfect to start now, when he's hopefully developed a bond to you and trusts you, plus he's still young enough to learn quickly. ;)

@donyboy73 12 лет назад

you have trained him very well, i have a rabbit like yours and I didn't know you could train them like that

@Tinwelende 11 лет назад

It took between five and 50 times before he learned the various tricks. Tro train her to come when called, start out by finding out what her most favorite treat is. Give it to her every single time she happens to run up to you. After you feel like she expects the treat every time, add the command and say it every time AS she is already running up to you and then give her the treat. After a while, she'll associate that command (e.g. "come here") with running up to you and getting a treat. :)

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

Rabbits usually choose a corner to pee in by themselves. Then you just put the litter box in that corner and put some of their feces in it. Don't put hay IN the litter box, cause it would get contaminated. Put it in a hay rack right on the side of the cage above the litter box. That does help sometimes, since they usually poo as they're eating hay. To bond, just spend as much time with them as you can, but never force them to anything.

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

Hi! The click is used instead of a praise. The click sound is always constant, whereas a praie, like saying "Good job!", or something like that, always sound a little different from the last time you said it. There's a million ways to say "good job". So the click always sounds exactly the same and the animal knows what it's waiting for and recognizes it immediately. Plus the fact that the click comes more precise. You can click ON the specific desired behavior as it is being performed.

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

So just tell her "no" firmly, and if you have to, tap her head slightly, to break the habit if the "no" by itself doesn't work. She'll pick it up, but never leave her unattented. To speed up the litter training, you could let her access only the room where her cage is first off and then after a week or so, open up to the next room and so on, one more room at the time. This way it will be easier for her to understand where the cage is located and that that is where the toilet is. Good luck! :)

@Pamsdogacademy 13 лет назад

This is really awesome! I clicker train dogs and cats, but have never had the chance to clicker train a rabbit. I have students at my school where I am a teacher that have rabbits and I showed them your video. I am hoping that they will start working with their rabbits.

@SuperCheesetastic 12 лет назад

Wow, he's not only talented, but adorable!

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

Make him understand what the clicker means first off. Spend quite a lot of time on just clicking and giving him a treat right after, even though he hasn't done anything. Then decide what you want him to do. Then you click for any single little movement towards the right, desired behaviour. Try to progress in small steps rather than in long steps, and have short training sessiongs, since rabbits get tired and unfocussed quickly. 5 minutes at the time is enough. And have patience. ;) Good luck!

@Tinwelende 15 лет назад

Yes, in my case, I did. It's called luring. The rabbit is supposed to learn the trick better (remember it better) if it learns it without luring, though, but spinning is my rabbit's favorite trick, so to me luring worked fine. ;)

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

He's still very young and most rabbits get better with age, poop-wise. Though, males are always a little bit messy and some male rabbits never poops in one corner of the cage. But just give it some time, move all the poop you see into his litter box and hopefully he'll get it eventually. To gain his trust more, try to feed him little treats from his hand and politely "ask him" if you can pet him before you do. If you hold your hand out infront and slightly over his head, he will turn his head

@Sunset553 9 лет назад

I haven't tried much training but my Netherland dwarf 1 year old bunny knows "up" to stand up, she comes towards me if i scratch on the floor, usually comes to me when I call her name. I started getting her to jump through a hoop but that had mixed results lol. Great video. Tack tack

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

It took about three days to teach him each trick, doing it in sessions of five minutes at the time, two to three times a day.

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

It took him maybe two or three practices (of 5-10 minutes each) spread out on two days. They understand it quite fast. It's the training of the tricks that takes time. ;)

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

To circle, I used "luring", with means I hold the treat in my hand and puts my hand to the side of his head and as he turns his head I click and give him the treat. Then you just progress from there, and make the circle more and more complete. In the end it's enough that you just circle your hand above him and he understands what to do. To lay down, I wait until he's tired and I know in advance that he's going to lay down. Then I click right as he does it. That one take a bit more time to teach.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

Thanks. :) He never gets lunch, only a few pellets for breakfast (and then unlimited amounts of hay, of course). I usually trained him any time during the day or at night when rabbits are usually more alert, so he wasn't very hungry or really full. ;)

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

Then he just doesn't trust you enough. Some rabbits never become completely tame for some reason. It's very individual. It's the easiest to tame them when they're as young as possible. The older they become, the harder it gets. Taming them and gaining their trust takes time and requires you to spend all the time you can with the rabbit.Take it to a breeder or pet store where they are used to handling rabbits, so they can show you the best way to pick it up and hold it without it kicking.

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

It's cause the treat is in your hand. But if you keep doing that and add the word "up" or whatever word you prefer every single time he stands up (AS he is standing up), he'll start associating the word with the action. After a while (several days of training) you can try to just say the word without the hand lure. Just wait for it and repeat the word a couple of times. If he doesn't stand up anyways, raise your hand quickly and then reward after taking it down if he stands up even after that.

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

I think my rabbit was pretty smart (I've had eight rabbits in total and this one was at least the smartest out of those eight), but most rabbits can learn tricks. You just have to realize that it takes time and patience and the key to successful training is to keep the rabbit thinking it's fun! If you force a rabbit to do something it doesn't want, you won't get any good results. ;)

@Tinwelende 11 лет назад

You could also try to pet it as a reward, like a quick head rub, though they usually appreciate the treats the most, which makes the training the most efficient. Maybe you could use cereal or something like that as treats (or his normal pellets), if you are worried you'll be giving him too many unhealthy treats? You've just gotta find something he likes and thinks it's worth working for. The healthier, the better, of course. Maybe even a small piece of lettuce (one small mouthful) would work?

@caguilar8534 8 лет назад

amazing , didn't like the background music though lol

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

If he runs off, he probably don't think it's fun. Make sure he's used to the surroundings by letting him be out of his cage A LOT. Try to find out what his favorite treats are and do everything in baby steps. Start off by just rewarding him for stepping up to you and taking a treat out of your hand (when he does, click, or say "good job" softly and give him another treat, so he learns that "good job" means "here comes a treat!". Never force it to do anything and have a lot of patience! ;)

@Tinwelende 15 лет назад

Thank you for your comment! :) Yes, Filip comes when I call him. I guess it's the fact that he's used to being petted and likes it, so he comes just because he wants me to pet him. Plus the fact that I've never really forced him to stay if he didn't want to. If he wants to jump away again, he can. Because of this, he knows it's not so painful to come up to me and be petted. I've also trained him to do this by giving him treats as he somes up to me - but not every time. Good luck with yours! :)

@Barbarows 10 лет назад

so cute , I'm sure he is better friend than most of human

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

I know. It's quite common to do that here, too. People buys pets, but don't want to spend money keeping them healthy (like taking them to the vet and such), so they take their lifes or give them away instead. It's really sad. No, it's not hard, as long as you know how clicker training works and as long as you have treats that the rabbit is willing to work for. ;) I use sunflower seeds, which Filip loves.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

Crisp bread is fine, corn flakes, a few sunflower seeds (though, they are very fatty). Stuff like that, but you should try to keep all excess foods at a minimum. Hay is what a rabbit should have an unlimited amount of, cause their stomachs are made for digesting grass only. So only a couple of table spoons of other things per day is enough. ;)

@ChechenGirl 11 лет назад

That's interesting. I've heard that hearing problems are common with lop eared rabbits. Filip is very adorable, by the way. I've never thought about using a flashing light before! That's a great idea, and I will try it. I'm excited now =) Thank you!

@aBunnyThatWillChewOnYourCables 8 лет назад

My rabbit can also "circle"/turn around", she can also do these: stood up on two back legs, give a kiss on my cheek I love her sooo much but she's sometimes annoying cause she's soo stubborn but I guess that it makes her her and I love her for that :)

@Dragon_puppetz- 12 лет назад

Super adorable! I particularly love the bunny kisses! :)

@rachelstevenson82 12 лет назад

My bun now goes in a litter box outside his cage. He seemed to prefer a specific spot to drop a pile of pellets, so I put a litter box there. Now that is where he prefers to poo, and especially likes to piddle in this box, as it is outside his cage. He rarely ever piddles in his cage anymore. Try placing a box outside the cage and placing some fecal pellets into it. Show the rabbit the poo, and give the bun some hay to eat as he/she goes. They prefer to poo when they eat and vice versa.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

It's easier when they are younger. If your rabbit is peeing in one corner of the cage, just put the litter box right there and put the material that has got the pee on it into the litter box. After a while the rabbit will be used to pee in the litter box. As soon as it pees outside of the box, you take the wet material and put that into the litter box so that the rabbit never has wet litter other places than in the litter box. He will soon realize that that's where to pee (hopefully).

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

Yes, you can. It just takes a little longer if he already has decided where to pee. Just take the litter that has the pee on it and put it in the litterbox and put the litterbox right back in the spot where he pees and hopefully he'll continue in there. If he pees somewhere else, just move that litter into the litterbox, as well.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

I've had him since he was 8 weeks old. They usually live 6-8 years, but 10 is not uncommon. The oldest one I've heard of was 14, but that's just that one rabbit.

@Tinwelende 11 лет назад

Yes, absolutely. Just read up as much as you can about it before you start, since it's a quite delicate method that needs to be done right in order to be the most effective. ;)

@Tinwelende 11 лет назад

This is a mini lop. It's a breed who's bred to have floppy ears. ;)

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

I'm very sorry to hear that. I don't know of any lists like that, since I live in Sweden. But I'm really sorry to hear that your rabbit is gone. I know how much you can love a rabbit. :(

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

It takes a little longer for them to learn things the older they are, so three months old is not old at all and it's a great age to start training. The younger the better. ;)

@sabrinabojarski8083 11 лет назад

Me and my little sister thought Filip was funny and adorable :D

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

Thank you! :) I learned at university, where I studied ethology and I've spent many hours reading about clicker training on the Internet. There are lots of instructional videos on RU-vid. :)

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

to the side if he doesn't want you to pet him and he'll lower his head if he thinks it's ok for you to pet him. Try to always make him think it's fun to be around you. Give him things to explore and give him little treats when he's been good (with moderation). With time you'll gain his trust and HOPEFULLY once he's reached adulthood, he's gotten his pooping in order, too. ;)

@behaviourandtraining 11 лет назад

Lovely training!

@KLizard43 15 лет назад

That's Great! I am really impressed that Filip can lay down on command. You have done a great job. What do you use as a treat?

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

Yes, it's just a little bit harder, though, cause you need to recreate the EXACT same sound every single time you click. Then, in clicker training in general, another hard thing is to do the click on the very exact second of when he's performing the right behaviour. If it's "sit" with a dog - the click needs to come exactly then his butt touches the ground, etc. But just stay patient and train the rabbit in short sessions (like 5 min) at the time. Good luck! :)

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

Thank you! I'm glad it was useful to you! :) The spinning in a circle maybe is good, too. That is my bunny's favorite trick. :) Good luck with yours!

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

Differet rabbits like different things. Look in the pet store for special rabbit treats. Small, soft lentil-like treats with different flavors are common rabbit treats and they usually love them. My rabbit loves white sunflower seeds, though they contain a lot of fat, so you should only give scarce amounts of that. But just try your way through all the different things that he might like, and you'll notice what's his favorite treat. Just be really careful with the amounts of everything you give!

@Lydiabidiapumkinpie 12 лет назад

What a cute bunny :p I LOVE flop eared bunnies!

@nudle19 14 лет назад

Haha how cute! i can see that image of ur little rat popping out and in of ur sleeve. Wow that's so awesome that u are allowed to have him out on ur shoulder in class. My school would nva allow that......i think. Nva happen b4 so i dont know.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

Stupid rabbit tricks are great stimulation for a rabbit, since he gets activated and gets to use his head. He's got a much happier and richer life than the rabbits of the ones who don't do stupid rabbit tricks with them.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

It's the same thing. ;) If the click is too loud for the rabbit, you kan hold the clicker in your pocket or behind your back when you click, so the sound gets softer.

@igorawr122 11 лет назад

Your rabbit is so smart! Could you make a video that shows your whole process of teaching him a trick?

@kikiekikie1672 10 лет назад

WOW, this is amazing! I didn't know that rabbits can be trained. Thanks for sharing this :-)

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

Just don't expect things to happen fast. This will take several weeks for him to learn if he isn't that tame. The best place to be when you train him, is in a place he's familiar with. And try to stick to the same place every single time you train him. Good luck! :)

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

White sunflower seeds. Though, they're very fatty, so you should give very scarce amounts.

@fleshwoundification 10 лет назад

Very well done. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful rabbit also.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

It's quite hard to get the discoloring off, but getting the worst of the urine and poo by just washing it off is a good start. I usually just hold my rabbit's paws under running water, so that I don't have to give the whole rabbit a bath when he doesn't have to. If your rabbis is held in a clean environment it will most likely get the rest off by itself. This can be hard, though, with a rabbit that pees in the middle of the cage and then lies down in it. I took all the straw out of the cage

@Tinwelende 15 лет назад

Thank you! :) I use white sunflower seeds. They are very fatty, though, so one should be careful not to give too many.

@hiallyrochasalvadordantas7685 10 лет назад

So beautiful 🐰

@Tinwelende 11 лет назад

Read all my previous answers to the comments below, and you'll find the answer to that and much more. ;) Good luck with your new lop!

@yohoyo8116 11 лет назад

my rabbit had a seal pointed baby and we are keeping him we named him Nibbles and today he is 6 weeks old and 1 day i started clicker training him and it made me feel so happy for some odd reason lol

@Tinwelende 14 лет назад

Men lite uthållighet, så går det. ;) Men det gäller som sagt att passa på just när han utför beteendet naturligt. ;) Klicker är jättekul! Absolut värt att testa!

@kona3184 11 лет назад

Your rabbit is soooo cute!

@alexisdenney9899 12 лет назад

the kisses trick is adorable :3

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

I'm from Sweden, so I can't really tell you how much they are, since I think they're a little cheaper in the U.S. Just go to a good pet store and ask about expenses. Make sure, though, that you have money saved for possible veterinary expenses too, though. Many people just buy the animals and the things they need for them and have no money left to use if they'd have to take the animal to the vet. So to have money saved somewhere for vet expenses is a must before buying an animal.

@Tinwelende 13 лет назад

He might, but snapping your fingers will be a new sound to him that he doesn't associate with the reward, so basically you'll have to start over with all that. Though, clicking your fingers doesn't always produce the same exact sound. Clicking a pen is usually better, since it's a static sound. ;)

@Tinwelende 12 лет назад

desired behavior and you praise that with a click and a treat. Then you wait for the animal to try to do that same thing again, cause it knows it gets rewarded for it. After a while, you don't satisfy with that small move, and you wait until the animal tries more, or longer or in a slightly different way - something that is more close to how you want the trick to look like. You always do it in very small steps. You can read a lot about this online. It is a very effetive way of training and
