Owners who could be considering seeking out one of the positive reinforcement options when training their dog, might consider Clicker Training. This simplistic and proven way of training uses a device which, when clicked, puts out a chirping sound. The clicking device (most often it is a length of metal cased in a plastic container) This technique is preferred over giving a k9 a treat or punishing them for each bad thing.
Give your dog a treat before you begin Clicker Training. Give your pet a treat the first time it is able to hear the click. Positive behavior will follow suit when the click is used properly. Dogs will quickly learn to associate the clicking sound with a reward and will in turn obey their owner's command when the clicker is used. The clicking device is going to assure the dog they have done something which the owner is delighted with. Whether it is learn a new command, or obey a command they were not obeying in the past. Due to the fact that the dog has been conditioned to think the clicking sound is going to lead to a reward or treat, owners must still reward their dog every once in a while with treats; if not, the clicker will in the end lose its value.
When teaching a dog a difficult trick using a clicker, or when the dog is showing difficulty in mastering a trick, the trainer should use a treat as a reward. After the dog has successfully mastered the trick, he should receive a treat occasionally, but not every time he hears the click. By using the Clicker Training, and integrating the treat every so often, the dog will become conditioned to the two going hand in hand, and they will quickly learn the commands and tricks their owner might be trying to teach them. During the initial stages of using the clicker, giving the dog a reward often will be a mechanism to get them to understand the positive meaning of the clicker. The clicker can be reinforced with snacks occassionally.
If you use Clicker Training techniqes, there are certain things to keep in mind. Take it easy at first, begin in a tranquil room with small snacks and go very slowly. You might still want to think about using a clicker so that your dog gets used to it. When you get to that point you can start with some simple requests, tricks, and other things that you want your dog to do. Going steady and display of patience initially by the owners is vital. Giving a treat for each command the dog learn will not be required, after some time, though this is ensuring the responses you are looking for now.
