Dog Training Clicker?

Question

do you use it for good or bad behavior?
any tips or personal experiences?

someone told me it was for bad behavior and i already started using it that way, how can i fix this now then if it sounds like it is supposed to be for good behavior?

Answer 1

It may take some time to reverse the situation, but the best way is to click randomly and follow it with a treat. Then as it has a more positive association, start training to do tricks or positively reinforcing good behaviors.

I taught my little puppy to play fetch using the clicker. Click and treat every time they bring the toy back. Make sure the treats are small enough to be eaten quickly so the dog doesn't lose focus of what you're trying to teach. Also, be sure to never use it as a means to summon the dog.

I click for my puppy when she's just laying there not messing with stuff or playing with an appropriate toy. As they get into it, they will figure out what they do that makes you click and after a while you can slowly ween them off the training treats. It's a fun way to train, and it seems to be working out ok so far. She's still a bit young to get into the more advanced stuff.

Answer 2

good behavier. You tell the dog what do for exaple if u tell it to sit and it sits click the clicker and then give it a treat. This is one way we trained our dog.

Answer 3

I would recommend taking your dog to obedience classes. It can be difficult to train your dog by yourself.

Answer 6

Answer 7
