method, which only recently gained popularity among dog trainers across the country. In this method is the coach, the use of a clicker, a small plastic box with a metal essential a specific sound when you click the button was pressed. Training method is simple and is in many ways parallel to the positive method of training. Here you have to do.
Deciding on a specific behavior that you want to teach or reinforce
To make your dog. A series of behaviors / actions come naturally to the dog, such as sitting, eating, standing, barking etc. and these need only to amplify so that your dog knows. If you want to do this. Several other measures, such as dead, shaking hands, rolling over, etc. is not natural for the dog and must be taught. Clicker Training can be used to do both.
Clicker training works according to the principles of operant conditioning
Involvement of the sound of the clicker with a food, the dog particularly likes. All you have to do is use the clicker for your dog to do something for the command, the dog, as committed to the sound of the clicker with food, shareholders, immediately and training is completed.
Let’s take an example to illustrate the best method if you want your dog to sit, teach, set a cookie on your dog’s nose playfully and move upwards, the dog naturally follow the movement of the cookie with the nose and then of course the rest his back on the ground, as he sat in one position. Click now, it’s time to be as precise as the law occur as the dog sits down, now give him the biscuit and praise him. Continue until the end, the dog begins to associate the click with the food until the click makes him sit down without having to lure with treatment.
Now teach him another problem, but remember that once you stick that we sell only the animal’s behavior that is otherwise attach anything you are connected to the head of the dog and will be confused about what it means.
Your dog is a little ‘intelligent creatures, and it is time that gave him the proper recognition for this. A number of coaches have been known to use negative reinforcement techniques alongside the clicker method, but simply does not work, because the penalty at any time make a set of unwanted behaviors, even if it serves the main purpose of teaching the dog not a temporary thing.
Any type of training is a strenuous and rigorous process and requires time and patience. Although clicker training method has a high rate of success, may not work for some types of dogs, if you see that does not work for your pet, you would do well to use a different technique to teach tricks.
