Clicks & Tricks

 

Clicker training is a proven technique that helps you and your dog communicate and has been shown to be a very successful technique in training any critter, even chickens! Yes, even chickens.

 

How does clicker training benefit me and my dog?

If you've been to any of our classes, you will know that our activities are set up to "mark" a successful behavior by saying "yes" or "good dog", and then rewarding with (usually) a treat. This is one of the main concepts of clicker training.

Using a verbal marker can help you communicate with your dog and let them know they did something correctly. The challenge is that often our marker words are used in other ways. Think about how many times you say “yes” or “good dog” but are not really trying to reinforce something your dog did.

A clicker is a very distinct sound and allows for precise timing and timing is everything! Clicker training has been shown to increase how quickly dogs learn new and complex skills. If you want to take your training to the next level, this is the class for you.
