Question by average jane: “Clicker Training” for a dog?

For those of you who are familiar w/this, what are the pros, cons and best uses for it? Any breeds that it is NOT effective on?

Best answer:

Answer by Ashera
I used the same principle to train my dog, only I used my voice instead of a clicker. I think it would be annoying to need to constantly carry it around just for training. It worked very well for my dog, most behaviors she could learn in a couple of days. I think it’s a very effective and fun method of training.

There are some down sides. If your dog is not very food motivated, the training won’t work as well. Your dog can also learn to only behave when you have treats if you aren’t careful. You will also have to be careful not to overfeed the treats or your dog will gain weight.

I don’t think it’s breed specific how well the training will work, it’s mostly going to depend on your dog’s personality.

Q & A: What’s so special about “clicker training” dog?

blackkwidow Question : What’s so special about “clicker training” dog I am for positive reinforcement, I am also for the correction – but I’m not really talk of that, I mean the clicker itself. What is so special about the click that the dog is supposed to understand? I read a number of “clicker training” and they give these reasons the clicker is better, but then they try to sell you the clicker … If you were disabled or something, dumb, or deaf, I can understand, but if you’re not them, why not just say good dog, or a pat or a treat? one of the reasons they said is that it is faster, which just seems lazy to me. Another reason is that dogs do not understand English. Well, duh! but apparently, they can involve a large number of sounds and gestures to understand well enough to sit, heel and stay, and my dog like that when I talk to him. When we do something he’s comfortable with, like cutting nails or double time, it responds much better when I’m saying it’s gonna be OK, than not. Or if the dogs are all about body language, why not just invent a kind of “reward” a short word or gesture which is unusual for your dog to locate gibberish normal conversation. (However, sometimes my dog will pick up the word “sit” in normal conversation and to do so) So what’s the real point of the clicker itself? Or is it just a way to make money on all those who want the “new” thing? Best answer: Answer

Clicker Training puppy

Clicker puppy training quickly became one of the favorite when it comes to dog training behavior. The idea is to anchor the action desired sound. This sound is a click, you get a clicker. Nothing fancy, I know, but very effective.

The clicker is a simple device that will be used when you start training your dog on a desired behavior. It sounds simple you can do anywhere. So when your dog does what you want it to do, you click and give him a treat immediately enjoyable. This will create an association between the sound and process it. In no time, your dog will love the click!

As you continue training you will be using hand signs or spoken directions to your dog to the desired action. Slowly, you leave her by clicking on the other. He served in the initial phase of establishing a solid bridge of communication between you and your dog.

The best part of puppy clicker training is that you are not really force your dog to do something! It’s a win / win situation, because clearly forcing your dog is not the best path to take.

The idea of clicker training was well received by many famous dog trainers, and the same idea is now applied to the training of other animals. As a reward, the food is mainly used, but you can also use a toy dog will love it!
