For dog training, the use of the clicker has become increasingly popular in recent years. When you push the clicker box with your thumb, it emits a clicking sound, that informs your dog that he has acted appropriately, and that you are pleased with his behavior. Through this training method, you are teaching the dog to learn the meaning of the clicking noise.
Obviously, the first step is to buy a clicker. In addition, you may want to browse your local pet store for clicker training books; they might help you along with your training. Teaching your dog his first trick, such as following the "sit" command, is a good initial step. Issue the command to "sit" and attempt to get your dog to sit on his hind legs. Once he follows the instructions, reward him with his favorite treat while clicking the clicker box once. Make sure that you discharge a click every time you reward the dog with a treat. That way, your dog will associate the clicker with following your commands.
Recently, there have been many dogs that participate in competitions that are using clicker training. The next time a competition is aired on television, watch as the dogs perform the various obstacles; if you look to the side, you will probably see their trainer with a clicker box in hand. As long as the method of "command, treat, click" is strictly followed, clicker training is one of the best ways to train your dog.
Through the use of clicker training, you are in control of letting your dog know how you feel about his behavior, along with dispensing punishment and praise when it is needed. Doing so allows you and your dog to form a stronger relationship.
Dogs thrive on praise, so, try never to miss an opportunity to utilize the your clicker box, to let your dog know that they have exhibited appropriate behavior.
