Train your dog to you immediately with Clicker Training

Clicker training is a technique based on positive reinforcement. The technique is based on a different cause because the sound to your dog when he made a correct behavior. animal trainers, especially those who are marine animals like whales and Dolphins have been using this method of training for many years, but the training method are the same, the whistles are used to indicate that the adopted animal good answers. The device we use to train dogs is a small plastic door that contains a thin strip of metal about an inch long. Part Pressing metal, it emits a "pop" sound and this sound to be used to allow your dog knows that he gave a correct response.

What are the benefits of clicker method? Well first, his voice when training your dog can sometimes reduce the training sessions, or discourage your dog especially if you tell your dog that is frustrated with him when he understands what you want to do. However, the sound of the clicker is neutral, if desired, and most importantly, is always the same sound. Your dog will be accustomed to hearing the "pop" sound every time he made a correct behavior. There is no physical contact with your dog when using this method. No need to put your dog in a sitting position, an example of this method is effective, all of your dog has to do is guess the correct behavior, and then click sounds.

One inhibitors quick and effective training time is bad, especially when we are new to training a dog. To give an example, when teaching your dog to sit, it is necessary to treat you, when your ass on the floor. However, when using voice commands, and Food offers the same time, may be distracted and treat the dog at the wrong time, for example, when the dog returns Bum on the floor. With the help of the clicker method, however, may be more precise with your time because you have nothing else to do but watch and wait for your dog to run the correct behavior, click and give him a treat.

A major advantages of this method is that you do not need to treat your dog immediately, the sound of the click tells your dog is treated in the way, sound bridges the gap if you will, stage between the dog proper behavior and treatment. Training in this way is also an advantage when you're not close enough to your dog treat, example, if you teach your dog to stay when you are at some distance from it.

Now consider the elements basic things you should know before you start clicker training your dog. First, we need to work in this kind of treats your dog likes. This will be different for all dogs, For example, some dogs are more motivated by food, as with others, prefer petting or play a game. Determine the most powerful rewards for your dog, and you made a good start.

A point to remember about the "empowerment" that treats your dog likes more and therefore more likely to increase types of behaviors that are expected of it, varies depending on the environment is in. For instance, dog may be quite willing to work to try a food in the house, but when the local park, may be preferred another treaty, like a game to watch with you.

Let a situation of practical training, which can be used to start clicker training your dog. We will use the example of teaching a puppy or more to respond immediately to the call of his name.

First Arm with the clicker and lots of candy. Begin this exercise in a quiet, there will be no distractions. When your dog does not try to call by name. When your dog begins to call attention in their direction, click and give him a treat. Voila. Repeat this exercise several times, eg 15-20. Continue to exercise during the day, and you will soon find your dog to respond more quickly and more quickly to the call of his name.

The next step is to build in some distractions As you can refine the new behavior. Use your imagination here, and the quality of your distractions to low, medium and high. For example, you can expect something naturally attracts the attention of your dog, or when playing a game with children, and so on, then try to call, if not immediately respond, try to clap, when he looks at you click and treat.

The next step is to extend the time your dog looks at you when you called his name. Now, when I say look, I mean contact. Start with a second, and then, holding eye contact, click and treat, and build-to-say 15 or 20 seconds, and so on.

When you get a coherent response, it is time to relocate. Try to take your training to other parties in the home or local park, for example. Try to control the level of entertainment in each new environment, and ready for your dog in a previous fall training. Keep your patience and build your training from these points again.
