Another type of dog training!

Clicker Training

Clicker training has its origins in training dolphins and pigeons, which are animals that, unlike dogs and don’t respond well to obedience training. The process involves using a “clicker” (technically called a conditioned reinforcer) and this clicker marks the precise behaviour that is correct.

Clicker training is the more popular term used with dogs for what is called “operant conditioning” which deals with the modification of a dog’s voluntary behaviour through the use of consequences. The dog learns that through trial and error that only certain behaviours bring rewards. Unsuccessful or unrewarded behaviours get “stamped out” or extinguished.
This way the dog becomes conditioned to associate the clicker sound with a learned behaviour.
