Category Archives: Clicker Training

Clicker training is becoming more popular all the time. And why not? It gives you a language of communicating with the dog. When you make a sound with a small device in your hand called a clicker, the dog soon learns that right when you do it, he is doing something that you want him to and are about to reward him for. Dogs enjoy clicker training!

If you haven’t already signed up for my free ebook on clicker training dogs, you can get it from the link on the right side of the page.

Once, a neighbor of mine had a new puppy. I had been singing the praises of dog clicker training and offered to show her a few things. I hadn’t actually used clicker training much for over two years. I was in the bathroom, digging around in a box of dog supplies. I found an old clicker and clicked it… Immediately I heard a thundering overhead as both of the dogs I had then charged downstairs from my office, dashed to the bathroom door, and sat, looking eagerly at me! Dog clicker training isn’t forgotten! This incident is also a great reminder that dogs generally have excellent hearing. Of course, there are deaf dogs, and they can be clicker trained using a flashlight.
