What is Clicker Training?
Clicker Training is a simple and effective method used to train a dog with the help of a hand-held clicker device. The "click" marks a desired behavior by the dog, immediately followed by his receiving a treat...and he quickly learns that doing what his handler wants also results in a positive experience for him!
What Studies Show About Positive Dog Training
Scientific studies have shown that dogs learn much better when being taught correct behavior using positive reinforcement rather than punishment. Properly using a hand held clicker device tells the dog exactly when he's doing the right thing. This clear form of communication, combined with the positive reinforcement of a treat, is an effective, safe, and humane way to teach your dog any behavior he is physically and mentally capable of doing. You can read here all about the clicker training method and how quickly your dog will learn.
