[nagdu] clicker training

[Ioana Gandrabur]

Hi Dan,

In terms of guiding I learned at GDb to teach to target points of interest. 
E.g. chairs, a door I want to find again next time, traffic buttons to press 
for crossings etc. Of course many other useful behaviours could be taught.I 
taught Adrian how to go under chairs to take less room , how to TURN AROUND 
AND lift EACH paw for me to put boots on, basic retrieve although he never 
was good at it but he does find my slippers, how to go in a dog trailer for 
our tandem bike etc. . I guess basically any new behaviour you want could be 
taught shaped or reinforced with the  clicker.
