Clicker Dog Training?
Has anyone trained their dogs with the Clicker dog training program? Was it successful? Any tips? All answers appreciated! Thanks!
Clicker training is a great tool. It sends a clear, precise message to the dog of what they are doing correct.
It can be helpful to teach basic obedience, advanced commands, free shaping (making up your own tricks), potty training, and it can help create desired behaviors through "free thinking" (i.e. teaching a dog to be calm, getting a dog used to a cat or another dog, no barking, etc).
Once the dog understands that the simple click marks the exact second they did something right, it helps them learn to repeat that behavior more often.
I have used this on all of my personal and rescue dogs. I also offer classes dedicated to "clicker training", such as an into to obedience, intro to agility, and click'a'trick.
When used correctly (meaning you "charge" the clicker with your dog and your timing is accurate), this is a great and fun way to train your dog!
Charge = click, treat, click, treat, etc for 60 seconds and take a break. Repeat several times a day until your dog starts to grasp that the click = treat
Timing = Try getting a tennis ball and holding it at shoulder height. Drop it straight down and CLICK when it hits the ground. This will help you with your timing and accuracy.
