Lizard Trick of the Day

7/ 22/ 13

Hey, this is Katie! How'd you like that last Fish Trick of the Day made by Allison?!  I thought it was pretty cool!  I must applaud her for her first Trick of the Day on here!  I'm sorry about the inconsistency in our posts, but we try!  Please remember to train 3 times a day in 5 minute sessions.  Today's trick is getting your lizard to follow your hand without treats.  I would want your lizard to already know the first post I made about training your lizard and that would be getting your lizard to follow your hand with treats!  Once that is great you may do this one!  If your lizard doesn't get it right away it's OK!  You're really training your lizard just to have fun.  To find my first lizard post go to the right hand column and press the little button in the word cloud that says lizard.  Well now this is the Lizard Trick of the Day.  Are you ready to wow your friends?  You are?  Alright, lets go!


Supplies:

Your lizard's favorite treats
Yourself!
Clicker (Explained in the directions below) (If you don't have a clicker go to a pet store, or look online; they're real easy to find.)
Lizard

Luring Your Lizard to Move Without Treats in Hand:

1. First warm up with luring your lizard with treats!

2. Repeat step 1 until your lizard is completely ready for the next step of luring your lizard, but without treats.

3. Take the treats out of your hand, but still act like you have treats in your hand.  Start doing what you would normally do with treats.

4. For this trick I have requested you to have a clicker for it is easier to train with one for this particular trick.  When your lizard follows your hand click and grab a treat to give to it.

5. Repeat step four until your lizard is following your hand immediately.

6. Congrats!  You've trained your lizard to follow your hand without treats!

Be on the look out about a post on the Park County Fair!  I'm sure you all want to know how great our little club (4 people) in Bailey did.  Here's a hint, we were pretty awesome!

Did you enjoy this trick?  If so, leave a comment.  We love hearing from you!

Thank you www.pet- care- portal.com for the picture!

If you have a pet lizard I have a question for you!  Right now I don't have a model lizard to put in my posts to go along with the tricks.  I have been borrowing pictures instead, but if you want your lizard to become the logo lizard of Mydivapets just comment below and I'll ask you for a picture of your lizard.  If me and my co- owner, Allison, agree that he is Mydivapets material you get to be the new proud owner of Mydivapets's logo lizard!  Enter for a chance to win.
