Hey Dr. Dean,
I'm working on basketball with Russ, and we've just graduated to
putting the hoop in the water. I haven't used it in nearly 2 years,
since I taught my last fish to play, and it seems the suction cup has
gotten a little dry. It doesn't stick as well as it used to, and comes
off pretty easily while training. Is there any way I can get another
one that the hoop will fit on?

RoxMad,
I suggest wiping the suction cup with a little vegetable oil to soften it up again?

Sounds good! Thanks for the tip! We are making great progress with
basketball, and he will bump the ball against the rim until it hops
over into the hoop! I love teaching this trick! My last fish did it,
too, and it is so adorable to see how determined they are to get it in
the hoop! Teaching it to Parrots is especially entertaining because
they can be quick-tempered and get burned up at the ball if it refuses
to go in!
I have to thank you so much for creating this kit. I knew I wanted to
train my fish when I got him because I knew you could, but using a
feeding ring as a delivery system would be messy, and there is no way
that you could find so many props that are both safe and effective for
working with fish. Your kit makes it easy and safe for the animals,
and really helps people connect with them in ways they could never
have imagined! When I come home from college, all of my siblings are
more excited to see Russell than they are me! I have learned so much
from training him, and have been able to transfer what I've learned
from the fish to my guinea pigs and my dog. I had been clicker
training them before, but training Russ in a much more controlled
setting allows me to perfect the technical aspects of my
training.Thanks for making it all possible!

Roxmad,
I'm glad you and Russ are making such great progress. Do you think you could make a video and share it with us? We'd love to see how Russ is doing!
Thanks,
--Dean

I've got an ok video of the basketball, but I'm going to make a better
one and share. Once he learns a few more things, we'll create another
video to music like the first one!
