The easiest way to train a dog: Clicker training


2009

Training your dog with a clicker can substantially shorten the time it takes your pup to learn by up to 50%! Professional dog trainers use this system, and so can you.

How does Clicker Training work?

So why not just use a word like “good” or “yes”? Well. unlike the human voice, a clicker is always consistent. And to a dog´s ears one ´sit´ can sound completely different from the time you said it before!

Have you ever noticed how your pup will be totally getting an exercize and then, all of a sudden, just forget all about it? Well, it might just be that your tone is just a little higher or lower when you say sit. To a dog, it immediately sounds like something completely different!

By clicking every time your dog presents behaviour you want and then rewarding it, you will ingrave on its mind that “click” is good!

I read about it, watched the helpfull videos,and I´m all excited and starting today.

Check out those videos, ´cause they´re are so helpful! It even teaches your dog how to ring a bell if it needs to go potty! (I´ve got to try that next ;)
