You may discover that dog clicker training will speed up your dog training results.

Dog Clicker Training

Many think that the use of a dog clicker was first developed by dolphin trainers who had to get dolphins to respond under water. It was later adapted to work with dogs, cats, and circus animals.

Dog Clicker Training is a proven system of dog training that centers on scientific principles like operant conditioning.

Instead of just harshly pulling on a choke collar or lease, dog clicker training uses positive reinforcement methods that make learning times fun again. Your dog will think it is playing an enjoyable game.

What is a Dog Training Clicker?

The 'clicker' used in Dog Clicker Training is a small plastic device with a metal tab inside. It can be purchased either online or you may find one in a pet store. Although there are many differing types, styles and models - the use of them is relatively simple.

When you squeeze on a dog clicker it will make a sound much like clicking the metal top of a baby food jar only louder. One of the many benefits of using a dog clicker is that the sound produced will always be consistent. This is important for you and your dog to communicate.
