Just 2 Quick questions,

Whats the easiest way to get my puppy to respond/react to his name? He's doing very well in his training so far, he's pretty good at 'sit', bed' and nearly 'down'. Just started training on Monday I know its not in incredible but time is limited due to exams . He's 4 months old now (btw, is this very late to start training??)

Second question, Is clicker training worth doing. I've read a lot of articles on it saying its great but i'm looking for a couple of irish dog owners opinions.

What has worked for you guys.

Thanks in advance

Check out Karen Priors book "Don't shoot the dog".
Works really well for animals but also works for spouses and kids
