Dog Training - Clicker Training
October 11th 2008 18:23
There are many different meths of training your dog, and I want to make sure that you know and understand about clicker training. Although, clicker training is a method of training any animal from rats, dolphins, whales, horses, cats, etc. it is very simple to use when training your dog.
There are so many people who have heard of clicker training, but they are not 100 percent sure of how it works or how to do it properly. I have seen people using the clicker to click at their dog when the dog was doing something bad, which in turn teaches the dog to continue doing it... Well, not really. The way the lady was using it was to get the dog to stop barking while in the kennel. She would click the dog would stop and stare, and then start barking again. It drove me nuts!
But, anyway, whether you have a puppy or an older dog, you can successful clicker train the dog.
One of the common misconceptions with clicker training is that if you train your dog via the clicker, you wil always have to use the clicker and the dog will not truly learn how to do the commond without the clicker. Well, this is so not true. When using clicker training to train your dog, you can easily fade out the clicker as long as you do it properly.
Clicker training is probably the most effective and positive method of dog training that you will ever be introduced with.
There are several books about clicker training that you can purchase to help you out. but for the most part you can learn from Karen Pryor. THIS has tons of information that was taken from her book "Don't Shoot the Dog."
