To start training your dog using the clicker method the first thing to do is to teach your dog to associate the clicking sound with good behaviour. When your dog does something good press the clicker to give the double-click sound and give your dog a reward.
- Clicker training, or mark and reward, is a form of positive reinforcement dog training.
- The clicker or marker communicates the exact moment your dog does what you want.
- The timing of the click is essential and every click must be followed by a reward.
