Clicker trainig

What is the clicker training method?

We teach dogs positively rewarding good deeds and ignoring the bad. Frederick Skinner's theorem says that if a dog is rewarded for behavior, it tends to repeat. On the basis of this theorem, Karen Pryor operant conditioning applied to mark the dog when he had done well. To do this, she used the clicker. 

With this method, Karen explains in his book "learning and animal mind" describes how he was given a crab and she experiments with her, get train. 

This shows how powerful the clicker method.

 

Karen is based on the principle that if you get your dog to understand you, do what you want. Dogs instinctively want to please their owners. 

 

Then the art of training a dog is to communicate your dog what you want him to do, in a language that he understands. In this way you can teach in weeks what it would cost months with more traditional methods.

Whit this method, you can teach your dog to do ALL YOU WANT, using the clicker in free shaping, in modeling behavior, target training or just in "capture the moment"

But Clicker training its not easy at the beggining for the handlers, befor to start with your dog, you need to know how exacly and when use, coz if you use wrong, you can have really troubles with the dog.

The most important on the clicker training is the "timer" and "load the clicker" to the dog.  This phase is really important for a correct work on the method.

 

We can offer courses of clicker training for a person or for a group to learn together this great and satisfy method of training. You can learn more about clicker training in the british school learning about dogs
