Hi,
Has anyone else trained their duck(s)?
So far my Campbell knows the following commands:
1) Dinner time - Quacks loads and comes running for her dinner
2) Come here - Come to you, admittedly a little slow
3) What's this? - Snuffles where I point with my finger
4) Worms - Mealworm treats. Quacks and gets very excited. Makes that cackling noise ducks do.
5) Bedtime - Runs to the back door when it's time to go outside to bed in the chicken coup
6) Outside - Runs the the back door to be let out
7) Inside - Runs to backdoor to be let in
8) Bathtime - Gets excited at the thought of splashing in luke warm bath
9) All Done - After a bath when I have semi dried her off she gets excited at being lifted out of the bath
10) Tomatos - Similar to worms. Tomatos are her drug of choice
I know some are slightly tenuous, but her reaction to words makes be believe she does know what they mean. Saying "Woof" to her in the bath gets no reaction...where "All Done" gets her excited.
alas, I am having trouble training her to fetch sticks
While I have trained many dogs over the years this is the 1st time with a duck.
Does anyone have any tips?
