I always enjoy shaping and watching others shape, especially when they're working with non-canine species. I'm just about to head home from Clicker Expo in Portland, where I had a chance to learn a lot more about shaping. One idea from a shaping seminar...when working with fish, might it help to line up the fish treats on the lip of the tank? That way you could flash the light and then just push the treat into the tank? That might help eliminate the possibility that he's orienting to the light AND movement of the wand? I've never shaped a fish but that's a tip I picked up at Clicker Expo. <br><br>By the way, I attended 2 Alexandra Kurland seminars this week! Wow! She's amazing, and I learned a lot more about clicker training horses. I have renewed respect for positive trainers like you who work with these magnificent animals!!<br><br>Thanks! Take care,<br>Lisa Hi Mary,
