Click
With Your Canine:
For dogs 4 months
and up.
Clicker
training is a fun and exciting way to train your dog basic
commands and lots of fun tricks. In this class, you will
learn the proper way to use a clicker. Then you will use
it to train your dog basic command and some fun entertaining
tricks. Clicker training is a science based positive reinforcement
training method. A click is paired with a treat or other
reward to teach wanted behaviors. No corrections are used.
As good behavior is learned, unwanted behaviors are eliminated.
Research studies have proven that dogs can learn more
that 40% faster with the use of a clicker and they retain
what is learned longer. Dogs become happy and creative
learners. When they become clicker savvy, they offer behaviors
and tricks to earn clicks. Cues are added only after a
behavior is precise. So come and see the great things
that your dog can learn with the use of a clicker.
