Clickers
If you are new to the dog training experience, the use of clickers can seem bizarre. Most people find them daunting until they see the benefits!
As a #forcefree and science-based dog training service, we use clickers daily with our dogs. Clicker training is a terrific, science-based way to communicate with your pet.
Clickers are much easier to learn than standard command-based training and dogs tend to LOVE them. All animals can be clicker trained, not just dogs!
Sharing a few tips today on how to get started with clicker training:
— Timing is crucial! We try to click when the desired behavior happens and treat right after!
— Don’t mix scoldings, leash-jerking, and correction training with clicker training
— If you are not making progress with a particular behavior, don’t get frustrated. Make sure you aren’t clicking too late!
— Have fun!!!
