Welcome...Patch is a cutie and lives up to his name I think.. I've never done clicker training, but if you have before, by all means do it with Patch....Look forward to hearing more about him and don't forget the pics

Re: Pics of Patch

Second there are a few here who have tried/used the clicker-but it isnt needed IMO. I have never used one when training, just lots of treats, love, patience, and postitive reinforcement.

Thanks for the info..  so far love hasn't been a problem..lol  :dance:   and treats well we haven't started them just yet..  although i hear from my husband that "Patch" did very good on the leash today for it being his first time on it. so we may need to give him some treats when we walk him on it next..
