How To Train A Dog Using A Clicker

Introduction

Training a dog using a clicker is easy and effective. You can quickly teach your dog new commands without hurting them, plus you’ll have a fun time in the process.

The first thing you have to do is buy a clicker.

The first thing you have to do is buy a clicker. You can get one at any pet shop, or online. If you don’t want to spend money on a clicker, you can use any other sound that you like. For example, I use the word “yes,” because it’s fast and easy for me to say when I want my dog’s attention. However, this may not be practical for everyone depending on how easily distracted your dog might be!

The second thing that needs doing is finding something fun for your dog to do while they’re learning how to work with the clicker. This will help them associate it with good things happening rather than something scary or threatening (like being yelled at).

After buying the clicker, you need to open it and get your dog’s attention.

After buying the clicker, you need to open it and get your dog’s attention. Show the dog the clicker and make sure that he sees it. If necessary, use a treat as a lure by holding it in front of the dog’s nose until he turns his head toward you. Then, show him what you’re going to do with it: Clap your hands above your head so that he can see that there was no sound associated with this action and then hold up another treat while saying “click!” Once he looks at the treat in your hand again, give him one more click/treat pairing before putting away both treats for later use (or eating them yourself).

Once you have got your dog’s attention, click the clicker and give them a treat.

Now that you have your dog’s attention, it’s time to use the clicker.

To do this, click the clicker while they are looking at you and then give them a treat. You should make sure that they are getting their treat before you give them any more training commands so that they know what is happening and begin to associate the sound of the clicker with something good happening in their lives.

You need to continue clicking, while giving the dog treats, until they realize the click means they will get a treat.

You need to continue clicking, while giving the dog treats, until they realize the click means they will get a treat. You will know your dog is understanding what you want when he does something other than sit and look at you.

It’s important for them to realize that sitting still isn’t going to earn them anything because then they won’t be doing it when told and/or in certain situations (like when there are distractions).

The next step is teaching the dog that they can be clicked at any time, not just when they are listening to you.

The next step is teaching the dog that they can be clicked at any time, not just when they are listening to you. This is done by clicking them when they are not doing what you want them to do. For example, if your dog has been ignoring your commands for some time and then decides to listen again, click! If your dog has decided not to come back into the house after an exciting walk outside and instead sits on the sidewalk staring into space, click! If your dog runs around randomly while looking for something in particular and eventually stops running around when it finds its favorite toy under a chair (it’s usually under a chair), click! The goal here is to show the dog that being clicked doesn’t necessarily mean “good job!,” but rather means “I want your attention now.”

Teaching this is easy. You can tell the dog a short command like “sit” or “lie down”, as soon as they do it, click and give them a treat.

Clicker training is a positive way to train a dog. The clicker will tell your dog that when they do something good, they will get a treat or reward. Clicker training does not use any physical corrections like choke chains or shock collars so it won’t hurt your pet. Clicker training also gives you the opportunity to be creative in what you teach your dog and how fast he learns because there are no time frames for learning like with other methods of dog training.

You can clicker train anything from basic tricks like sitting or lying down on command to complex commands such as opening doors or turning lights off/on at certain times of the day using remote controls (which I will cover later). Your imagination is the limit with how far you want to go with this method of training!

Once your dog knows what he has done to earn the treat, start using longer commands like “fetch” or “roll over”.

When you click and reward your dog, you’re using positive reinforcement. This means that the behavior is being rewarded with something good (the treat), so it will happen again. For example, if someone says “good boy!” when you pick up your toys off the floor then that encourages you to do it again because good things happen as a result of picking up your toys. If they were yelling at you or hitting you instead then picking up your toys would not be an enjoyable experience and therefore would not encourage doing it again in future.

Use a clicker to train your dog without hurting them.

A clicker is a device that makes a clicking sound when you press down on it. It’s a great way to train your dog because it lets them know exactly when they’ve done something right, so they can keep trying until they get it right.

The clicker can be used to teach your dog basic commands like sit, stay and roll over. Or you can use it with other tricks like “play dead”, or even very complex tricks like playing hide-and-seek or re-enacting scenes from The Wizard of Oz!

Conclusion

The clicker method is great for training your dog. If you are having trouble with your dog, try this method and see if it works for you!
