From Canis Clicker Training Academy. Let me say that this has really opened my eyes and mind on how to train a dog. And don’t get hung up on the clicker. The clicker is what they use for a conditioned reinforcer meaning the reward is on the way. You can use anything as the conditioned reinforcer, a whistle, praise, hand clap, word, anything you want.
The Benefits of Clicker Training
- You reward wanted behavior and ignore unwanted behavior so you get a dog that wants to train rather than a dog that is afraid to train.
- You don’t lure the dog to do a behavior, you wait for the dog to voluntarily do it. This means you won’t end up with a dog that you have to lure to get what you want. Ever call your dog to come while waving a treat?
- Your timing for reinforcement can get very precise. That makes the dog training very efficient and saves time.
- You train the behavior first, then add the cue. That makes the cue more reliable.
- After a few months, you get a clicker smart dog. Your dog knows how to play the game and it makes learning new things fun and they learn faster.
