Dog Training: Clicker Training Question.?

Well I just got a clicker to train my dog for and I need to know that if you are training the dog a new trick if it sits, do you say "Sit" then click and treat. Or do you make a motion with your hands and then click and treat?

Timing is the most crucial thing in clicker training. And you never put a word to something until the dog's done it. So you get your dog to sit by holding the treat in your closed hand slightly above his head and back a little. That's going to make him sit so he can keep his eyes on where the treat is.

The split second his butt hits the ground, you click and treat. After a couple of times, when he's gotten the idea of what you want him to do, put the word "sit" to it. Then practice so he remembers - short training sessions, though, or he'll get bored.

Clicker For Dog Training

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate]

the more i read about dog training, the more confused i get! what's the best known approach to training a dog?

i watch cesar on tv-that makes sense, i've read many books on"positive only" approaches-that makes sense too. i have tried both clicker training and cesar's way. i feel very confused. and opinions are strong and dogmatic(no pun intended) in both "camps". meanwhile, my dog still has problems. one "way" seems to work for some things, another for others.

Really - it depends on the dog! There is no right way for every dog. Personally - I use positive only when first training a new skill (or for something like agility), but corrections (which can be as simple as not getting the toy or treat) when proofing the behaviour.
