The strike through the words above are parts of the article I’ve already completed. This will be removed when I’m done with the article.
Finding his favorite treat. Every night, give them romaine lettuce. Watch him. If he eats all he can he likes it. Keep experimenting with treats until you find what he likes. But for an example, I’ll say “Frank” loves peas. So frank is a nice gentleman. But I want him to stay like that, right? So if he loves peas, let’s get on with the training. You’ll need, of course, his favorite treat. In franks case like I said is peas.
So always defrost the peas. Then you will need a clicker or your mouth to get that clicking sound, or just simply say good.
Onto the training!
Now, onto the training.
Take him out of his coop. If he struggles with you, say a phrase. For me, it’s “big men don’t throw tantrums”. This is your first training. Every time he stops, give him a pea. Walk towards the coop then away from it. Again, if he throws “tantrums” with you, say your phrase and if he stops whenever, give him the pea. Now, do it again. But whenever he stops, give him the pea, use the clicker or say “Good.” Continue until as soon as you say that he stops.
Another training, to make him stay like a gentleman. This one depends on how hard it is. If he’s always naughty it’s going to be extremely hard, but if he’s always nice it’s going to be easy. So you know it depends how. Whenever he acts good to you, give him a pea, and say “Good.” Or use the clicker. Keep on doing it. This will take longer because how they think, is that wherever you fix there attitude, for example, the coop, they are going to act correctly in there, but not in others places. Some drakes think this, some don’t.
