{"product_id":"trixie-target-stick","title":"Trixie Target Stick","description":"The Trixie Target Stick with integrated clicker is an effective tool for training your pet. It can be used for all pets, regardless of age and type of animal. The stick is ideal especially to teach small pets new exercises and set new challenges. Great not just for cats and dogs – try it on your rabbit, guinea pig, rat or bird!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eThis is how clickers work:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Immediate reward is essential for the successful training of pets. If the time between the desired behaviour and the giving of the reward (e.g., a snack) is too long (\u0026gt; 2 seconds), your pet may not be able to connect the two together. Once trained to work with the clicker, the “click” will provide this immediate reward. Before training your pet with the clicker you will have to teach it to recognise this. Leave the Target Stick folded up and work only with the integrated clicker. On each “click”, give your pet a snack or treat. Over time, your pet will learn that a “click” means “reward”. Repeat this initial training at least 15‑20 times on several successive days. You will now be able to use the “click” as a reward in itself, but don't forget to also regularly add a real treat after a click!\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eThis is how the Target Stick works:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Having trained your pet to associate the “click” with a reward you’ll now be able to use the Target Stick. Teach your pet to follow the stick with its nose by clicking when your pet’s nose touches the ball point on the stick (and following it up with a treat every now and then). You’ll now be able to train your pet to do various exercises, following the stick with its nose.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Trixie Target Stick at a glance:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \t\u003cli\u003eTraining aid for all pets\u003c\/li\u003e  \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith an integrated clicker:\u003c\/strong\u003e for combined visual and clicker training\u003c\/li\u003e  \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtendable stick\u003c\/strong\u003e from 14‑65 cm\u003c\/li\u003e  \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall at the end of the stick:\u003c\/strong\u003e easily visible and nose-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e  \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial signalling system:\u003c\/strong\u003e for effective training\u003c\/li\u003e  \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt clip:\u003c\/strong\u003e with removable nylon cord\u003c\/li\u003e  \t\u003cli\u003eQuick‑releasing clip\u003c\/li\u003e  \t\u003cli\u003eTraining instructions included\u003c\/li\u003e  \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e black \/ rust \/ sangria \/ petrol\u003c\/li\u003e  \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e plastic\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  The colour of the product may differ from the picture and is not freely selectable.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c!-- SEO Tags integrated naturally --\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTags: Pet Training Tool, Clicker Stick, Multi-Pet Trainer, Extendable Target Stick, Nose-Following Stick, All Pet Training Aid, Small Animal Trainer, Rabbit Dog Cat Trainer, Portable Pet Trainer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Trixie","offers":[{"title":"14 - 65cm","offer_id":47561591193848,"sku":"zp-204497.0","price":16.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/6623\/4104\/files\/37835_pla_trixie_rost_hs_01_5.jpg?v=1764439752","url":"https:\/\/www.petfoodmart.co.uk\/products\/trixie-target-stick","provider":"Pet Food Mart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
