Rabbit jumping competition clips are all over the internet. However few examples showed how positive reinforcement could be used to train a rabbit to jump ov…
The clips I have seen are using negative reinforcement. It works but not as much fun for the rabbit. Positive reinforcement creates a much more eager participant.
It is a target stick. The DVD called Bunny Training 101 which you can find on my website explains where to get them and how to use them. It is a very comprehensive instructional DVD.I hope you will check it out.
Hi Jessie,
All that info is discussed in great detail in the DVd Bunny Training 101. There should be a link to the site in the text description of the video. youtube wont let me post links in comments. I hope you will check it out.
I have a question, I see you using treats with her all the time.. Do you mind listing what types of treats or reinforcements you give her when she does something right?
I explain how to make it in the DVD. Just visit my website listed above in the text and on the video. youtube wont let me post the website in the comments section.
My DVD explains how to train targeting. It is pretty simple actually and can be used to train other behaviors. It is not too late to train. My bunny was 3 years old when she arrived. Start by figuring out his favorite treats/food items and use that to reinforce desired behaviors. Animals are always learning even after they mature. Go ahead and give it a go and I am sure you will see results.
Where did you get that idea from? Nothing in my materials ever suggests such a thing. She has free choice of pellets and hay all the time. I give her fresh veggies in the morning. I use some to train her, the rest she gets at the end of the session. And just so you know….kindness works better with humans too.
I just use her greens and other items from her diet. But my DVD Bunny Training 101 goes into more detail on creating motivation and treat types. You can get it from my website.

I use a clicker and I bought a long round stick at home depot and then glued a ping pong ball at the end, it works great

BunnyTraining: I wondered if you could START training a bunny when they’re one year old? Or do they have to start super young?
