Hello From Quebec!

[Joly]

Hi everyone!

Me and my dog Joly are from Quebec, Canada. We are french speakers... but I'll do my best with grammar and spelling. (don't hesitate to correct me, I actually try to improve my English!)

Joly is eight years old. She is a hybrid between a small shnauzer and an other unknown terrier-type dog. She is a well behaved dog and listens us very well (ok... except for the barking and jumping on people... ;p). She already knows how to sit, down, wait, shake hand, roll over and go on her bed.

I never really trained with her since she is my dog (I'm her second owner), but I just realized it could be fun for both of us. And since she is not young anymore... I thought it would keep her mind keener.

I already know about clicker because I have two parrots and used this training method with them. I've started with Joly a few days ago and she responds well.

I'me glad I discovered this interresing website and forum. There is lots of good informations and tips. Can't wait to discover more. Thanks Jean and the rest of the team!

Welcome! You did very well with you're english post! LOL Much, MUCH better than I could do with French There is another member here that speaks french, from France. I'm in Alberta. You've certainly come to the right place! I'd love to see a video on clicker training your parrots!

Thanks Jean and Sara!
Sara, sorry, I'm not very good with videos (and don't have a camera yet). But anyway, I don't clicker train my parrots anymore. They are not very disciplined. They prefer to fly and kiss my nose than learn tricks.
For my English, I read novels and watch movies and Tv series in English. It helped a lot.
