Target and Clicker Training Videos
by Marcie Christensen
Here is a video clip of someone who does target and clicker training with her pig. As you can see she uses food and a clicker.
Clickers can get purchased at most pet stores or on line. Here is a link to just one type of clicker there are lots out there: http://store.clickertraining.com/newiclick.html
She doesn't use words at first. She just waits until the pig goes to the "target", the orange cone here, but you could use anything, the she immediately clicks the clicker. Then another treat on the ground and waits until the pig find the target, then another immediate click of the clicker. After she thinks the pig gets it she starts to add a vocal command, "target". The reason for this is you can then tell a pig to "target" without a clicker and the pig will go to it immediately.
