CLICKER TRAINING

This revolutionary, successful and simple form of training has been embraced by the training world as the most modern and effective way of training dogs in the last 10 years.

Clicker Training gives you an invaluable insight as to how your dogs learn, therefore giving you a far greater understanding of why. It is a unique way of focusing your dogs attention on you. It also focuses your attention on your dogs reaction.

The Clicker is a communication tool that becomes the signal telling your dog they are correct and that a reward will be offered.

You will find that most dogs will "Choose to do so" far more readily with clicker training than any other method.

The click is sounded as the behaviour is occurring leaving no doubt in the dogs mind exactly what earned them the reward. To gain a reward the dog must pay attention to the handler as it is they who control the clicker. It is the timing and clarity of a reward that is the key of successful dog training. Clicker training achieves both of these essential things by communicating to the dog that not only has he/she earned a reward but exactly why they have earned it.

Clicker training teaches your dog the skill of learning and once you experience that moment you will look at your dog in a whole new way, is easily managed by any person, is fast, effective and not physically demanding on the trainer.

The most commonly asked question about Clicker Training is:

Do I have to carry the clicker around for the rest of my dogs life?

The answer is no! The clicker is a training aid and it is a way of communicating with our dogs when training them. Once a behaviour is trained then the clicker has done its job. You will only need to use it to train a new behaviour during a training session.
