Fun Game That Trains People Like Dogs

How To Train a Dog by First Training a Human

There is a great party game that's a lot of fun that teaches people how to train dogs... and people.

It uses a "clicker", an animal training devise that clicks with a push of a button.

One person leaves the room and a group of people decide on a behavior they want the person to do and using ONLY a clicker they will click when the person gets closer to that behavior.

The person enters the room and the ONLY communication is the clicker which is used to tell someone "yes, you are doing that right".

This is well described in the book "Don't Shoot The Dog"
by Karen Prior
The amazon link is below.

The great part about this process is that a) You use only positive feedback. There is no negative feed back (not the same as "Getting Warmer" "Getting Colder")

b) you are training in increments clicking as the person gets closer to the behavior

c) the trainer learns even more that the trainee.

It's a fun game worth playing.
