Clicker training is becoming more popular all the time. And why not?
It gives you a language of communicating with the dog. When you make
a sound with a small device in your hand called a clicker, the dog soon
learns that right when you do it, he is doing something that you want
him to and are about to reward him for. Dogs enjoy clicker training!

Rosana's Ramblings:
Once, a neighbor of mine had a new puppy. I had been singing
the praises of dog clicker training and offered to show her a few
things. I hadn't actually used clicker training much for over two
years.
I was in the bathroom, digging around in a box of dog supplies.
I found an old clicker and clicked it...
Immediately I heard a thundering overhead as both of the dogs
I had then charged downstairs from my office, dashed to the
bathroom door, and sat, looking eagerly at me!
Dog clicker training isn't forgotten!
(This incident is also a great reminder that dogs generally have
excellent hearing. Of course, there are deaf dogs, and they can
be clicker trained using a flashlight.) |
