The dog is not expected to do or obey

An instrument that is becoming increasingly popular for training dogs is Clicker Dog Training. This can break the language and understanding obstacles that come between you and your dog. This can also facilitate the training to be quite easy, and it can set up a permanent method of exchanging information which both you and your dog can relate to each other. A clicker is made of plastic.

It is small in size. It is the shape of a box and has a piece of metal lying within it. A ‘click-click’ noise is produced when you push firmly against the metal. This clicker plays the role of a sign at such times when you would like to appreciate your dog and present it with a gift for behaving in the appropriate manner. First of all, hold some delicious food in your hand (as much as your hand can hold), click the metal and then no sooner have you clicked, give the dog the food. Make sure it is something the dog loves to eat.

The dog is not expected to do or obey in any way at this juncture. Just try to make the dog understand and learn that if the click noise is produced, then something delicious will be given to eat after that. After you dog has begun to understand this concept, then you can start to utilize this method for your training. Click immediately after your dog has behaved in the appropriate manner. You can pause and wait for a few seconds to elapse before you reward him.
