Clicker Dog Training


Many of us understand that training your dog no matter what kind of breed it is, is always challenging. But there is one method which lets you handle and dictate your dog's behavior and is both very effective and amazing; Clicker Training. No matter what kind of dog you have, clicker dog training is one of the most efficient and impressive ways for controlling and dictating a dog's behavior when trying to train them basic commands. Not to mention that clicker training needs very little time to master and with a well-operated clicker, you can teach your dog almost anything at all.

How Clicker Training Works

Clicker training works by training your dog to identify and associate the sound of the clicker with a specific command you give. A clicker is a tool that makes a high pitched sound which you dog can hear more than 20 yards away.

But clicker dog training doesn't actually begin with a clicker. Firstly, you have to train your dog that the sound of the clicker is a treat for good behaviour. You can do this by purchasing a simple $2 clicker from your nearby pet store and a bag of treats that the dog can easily consume.

Also remember that when you make use of a clicker your dog will always think that you're showing them that they did a good job and a reward is on the way. You can also make use of a word or verbal command in different situations.

How Clicker Dog Training is Carried out

There are three simple steps to start clicker training. First of all, you have to convince your dog that you want to it to do something that you want such as sitting, talking, rolling over, or other tricks that you're trying to train. And once your dog has done what you wanted them to do, tag it with the clicker and a reward.

Using this method at least 3 times or more, your dog will know what behavior they did and associate any time you use the clicker, though a verbal command would be more difficult to get through.

You should continue on with these steps to boost the behavior whenever possible. Praising or petting your dog will do the trick just as well as rewarding treats and will ultimately replace the behavior.

Transitioning to a Command

After your dog has properly learned the behavior with clicker training you should transition to verbal command so that you can make use of it anyplace, even without having the clicker. You just have to say the command then followed by using the clicker then rewarding your dog, they will quickly know how to associate all three.

With great clicker dog training, your dog will eventually respond to a verbal signal without the demand for snacks or praise and the dog will simply know that the behavior pleases you.

Not only does this method have lots of purposes but it's probably one of the easiest ways in training your dog. You can mark and reinforce nearly any behavior with an easy, sharp command.
