How to introduce clicker training a dog Videos

lilcarlitos5 and urstruly83: The clicker helps you teach the dog what behavior to do. Once the behavior is established, you THEN put it on cue (teach the dog the command that goes with it). Once the whole concept (command/cue -> behavior -> reward) is strong, you can reduce the value of the rewards (going from food or toys to praise) and drop the clicker. You dont need to use the clicker to tell the dog what to do so he will do it even if you havent had a clicker in use for years.

You may have counted correctly and if your dog is predisposed to weight gain you may have to plan how much you feed. Compared to how much you use to clicker train with. I train with my dog everyday Rally-O, Flyball, Obedience, Agility, Frisbee and tricks I don't always use just my clicker allot of time I mark with a "Yes" or I use a toy and play. I think till you actually get out and start trying to train your dog and stop poo pooing this idea you will not see results.

Every psychology student can do this, and much more interesting and fun stuff with animals.... for eg... get a pigeon to play a piano ie a specific tune(takesa bit long though) i haven't checkout the clicking website but if it cost money to download then you can go to wikipedia learn the priciples behind it and do it yourself.... thats "classical conditioning" or instrumental conditioning....

Find something she REALLY loves, whether it is a toy, your affection, another type of treat, or whatever she goes CRAZY over. Make sure you are properly clicker training, and "load" the clicker. For example, click the clicker and give her the reward so she knows good things come from the clicker! Good luck!

my dog was given to me and shes already 2! i just started clicker training but its not going to well! when i try to give her a command and then treat she just walks away from me or she wont try to get the treat! what should i do?

No, she is clicking at the instant the 'correct' behavior occurs, to inform the dog that it is doing something 'good'. The reward always follows - do you have your audio turned on? Google it and educate yourself.

Exactly, see, this uses the principle of conditioned reinforcement. You can use a click, a whistle, a "YES" or just a "good boy".

hahaha i use snapple bottle caps, they work well to and they come with the drink (: i'm working it with horses though.

Wonderful that you've made this available free of charge. I refer people to these clips all the time. Thanks!

sounds like your dog is not very food oriented. You might need to use something really yummy, like hot dogs.

A trainer will often use the puppy's dinner as the treats to ensure that the puppy will not be overfed.

I think this is a Manchester Terrier - Miniature Pinchers are smaller and usually have cropped ears??

Hope more people begin using this method and NOT Cesar's Way muddydogstraining dot blogspot dot com

I remember doing this with my dogs several years ago ^____^. It definitely works. No lie.

wow your dog will be fat in notime, i counted over 15 treats in less than a minute.boooo

i did say IF it costs money. Although i sincerely regret posting that... appologies..

I love Sherri and Virginia! I have all of the Bow Wow videos, and they are awsome.

Hey there. So this is so this is a common misconception popularized by traditional dog trainers that rely on tools to make life unpleasant when their dog does not perform as desired. Here's a video that will explain the dominance myth: ==> https://plus.google.com/107984602498948672598/posts/ZndGCQHkPrj

+Kai ParkerI used to think like you but now I can see that a Clicker device could actually be  beneficial for dog training and make the process a lot easier.Cheers.

Because the click is a precise unique sound that acts like a teaching tool to capture the exact action behavior you want. Works better with free shaping small baby steps during the behavior you want . If you use  "Good Dog" for teaching the action behavior, many times it will be confusing. Did you want to capture the action behavior at the beginning of the "good" or the middle  of the "Dog"?  Also, I use "Good dog" just because I love my dog so it would decrease the power of a teaching tool too. Once the whole behavior is learned, then you can drop the click and then add "good dog" at the end of the behavior.

Yes it is okay

i always see trainers say that ten 1 minute sessions are better than one 10 minute session.

So what do you do if the dog doesn't preform or doesn't 'respect' you? What are the consequences? That's the difference between Cesar and clicker trainers. Cesar uses fear which does not encourage a trusting relationship of a compassionate leader. It's not fun for the dog either. Clicker trainers understand if the dog doesn't preform, then they haven't taught it correctly  or haven't practiced the behavior enough.I've read Cesar's books and many ideas like exercising the dog are great, but   I'm not into fear based training. Many of the things he teaches do not work in the real world, like shh shh shhing the dog. Maybe my voice isn't scary enough--- didn't work on mine. But then again, I am  a strong leader yet  don't need  to become a barky person.Another question--- What kind of leader are you?  Cesar works well with leaders who shout down their subordinates .  I've also  known leaders who give tokens of thanks for a job well done that are well appreciated. It's called money that puts food on the table.  

Hmmmm, I suppose you go to work every day purely out of respect for your employer? Properly done the rewards given during +R training are merely to build motivation. Nothing compares to seeing a dog eager to 'nail it' when you ask something from them. You don't get that by dominating them.I have found that I get respect when I earn it, not by intimidation. I have watched many full episodes of CM and thought he was great when he first appeared on TV, too! Since then, I have learned a LOT and trainers like Emily have helped rehab my reactive dog while the dominance methods made her worse. Why use force and intimidation if you can simply ask? Yes, it takes more effort on my end but, it's totally worth it!

This video is so fantastic for beginners. I have a feeling I will be recommending this to many many people. Thank you for taking the time to make these :)

Nice! Kinda looked like the treat delivering arm started moving before the click. IDK, maybe the video isn't quite in sync with the audio??

Why does it matter if she looks at your eyes or hand?

What kind of treats do you use for training? c:

Click/Treat to you, nice job!

Great video! Love it :)

He's biting a TON, haha. I guess that's to be expected since he's still got teeth coming in, but yeah, lots of bite marks! He's completely clicker trained in that he knows what it means, and because of that he also now know's his name, which is good. Still makes quite a few messes in the house, but they're becoming less.

Hi James, I have worked with a number of service dogs but not an official dog trainer and its not my main job, I just take a keen interest in it and am trying to apply the things I have learnt now I finally have my own dog. Hows your puppy doing? Biting lots?
