It’s no wonder that clicker training is widely accepted as the standard in behavior education.The sound of the click marks the specific moment your dog has successfully complied with a command; it lets him know what exactly you’re giving him treats for.

How the Clicking Trains.

Because many animal owners sing its praise, you’re now curious as to how clicker training works so that you can train your young pups with it or teach an old dog some new tricks.The clicker training is a reward system – allowing your dog to connect the click with rewards for bidding your command.When making your dog recognize the command, “Sit,” you can gently push him rump downward while repeatedly saying the word.Click then give him a treat at the exact second his butt his the ground.Train with this exercise a few times.Soon, your dog understands the click, the command and the treat come together.

The Clicker and Your Dog.

To see is to believe; try it and believe.Be warned however, that when you start using the clicker on your dog, don’t forget to.

Give your dog a treat every time you let him hear the clicking sound.The clicker is a prop for training.You should only use it when training.When your dog shows understanding by doing as you say, you can put the clicker aside.

Be forebearing.Some dogs are smarter than others; just as some people are smarter than others.Even if they have a measure of intelligence, they’re still animals.If young children can test your resolve, dogs can try your patience; don’t hope for too much from your little pet, more so if this training is a first time.Don’t be too hard on your dog or yourself.

End every training session on a good note.The last thing you do per session remains with your dog.If the session hasn’t gone as planned, don’t close it feeling annoyed with your dog; he’d be discouraged and be reluctant to try again next time.To make sure it ends well, go back to a command he has already learned and you know he can manage to obey well.Run him through the sit command two more times before you say the session is done for the day.Remember to click and reward.He’d be eager to repeat the training the next time.

Do it Correctly.

Since clicker training is all about timing, you want to be precise.To help your dog associate the clicking sound with the rewards and the commands easily, your timing must be impeccably precise.Prior to introducing the clicker to your dog, work on timing your clicks.
