Everybody Loves Agility-Including Hamsters


The club will soon be offering...wait for it....HAMSTER AGILITY! 


Okay, so this isn't actually true (sorry to disappoint the hamster fans out there), but it is pretty amazing what animals can do.  With some operant conditioning and a lot of practice, you can train most animals.  If you're interested in learning more about this, I would recommend the book Reaching the Animal Mind: Clicker Training and What It Teaches Us About All Animals by Karen Pryor.  This book is available for checkout at the Logan Library.
