Clicker Training Your Dog
by Jim Gaylow
Home dog training is quite popular nowadays, thanks to the high availability of reliable teaching guides and resources for beginning trainers. If you have a healthy, happy dog at home, there is no reason for you to not train it at home.
The history of clicker training
What is clicker training?
Clicker training is rapidly growing popularity is also connected with the emergence of the Internet. Through websites and email lists were dog owners around the world read articles by Karen Pryor, Bob Bailey, and other "first clickers". Dog owners in the U.S. could be a day to discuss problems with other clicker trainers in Sweden and Australia, in a way that was unthinkable just a few years earlier.
Clicker training works extremely well because it teaches things to dogs in a phases. First, the dog is taught that a click will bring a reward. This is repeated many times to solidify the association between the metallic click, and the treat. When this association has finally been made, the trainer can then proceed to teach the dog different tricks. The second set of associations uses nonverbal signals (such as hand movements). This practice emphasizes that the dog has to figure out on his own what you want it to do.
Okay, but the clicker is said that neither new, revolutionary, or some miracle cure. Why should I Midas finish reading this book? The simple answer is that clicker training has proved to be a very effective and interesting training method, which can be well worth familiarizing themselves in. It is up to you whether you want to go in for "100% clicker" or just learn the technique and add it to your repertoire with your other methods.
There are many misconceptions about clicker training that prevent people from using this simple method from training not only dogs, but also cats, and other pets. The most common myth about clicker training is that it doesn't use any form of discipline.
That is clearly false, since trainers have been known to use non-aversive means of correcting bad behavior. When a trainer says "no" or "wrong," the trainer is helping the dog understand which activities are target activities, and which ones are not.
This process is really quite simple - click, and give the treat. Each click has to grab the animal's attention. If the dog was not paying attention at all to what you were doing, repeat until it raises its head in attention. When the dog starts paying attention to each click, reward it immediately. Most dogs create a concrete association between the click and the reward after 20 to 50 successful cycles.
The third myth, that I hear all the time, is that clicker training cannot be used on other animals. That's false, since clicker training has been used countless times on different animals (including parrots, and dolphins), and each time, the trainers got good results. Dogs are only the most commonly trained through clicker training.
We will now go a little more detail on each of the points.
