Clicker Dog Training
The newest dog training craze is clicker dog training. A clicker
is a small rectangular plastic box with a metal button on top
that clicks, hence the name clicker. It's the type of training
that the dog decides whether or not it suits him. There have
been a lot of success stories with clickers, but with my dog he
just didn't want to know!
Researchers in dog studies believe that the clicker promotes
enforced training, without punishment! As we all know when we do
something good and get rewarded for it we are going to do the
same again, a dog thinks the same way. Dogs learn through
consequences, if they do something and it earns them a treat and
praise they are going to want to do it again because they like
this consequence. If they do something that you don't like and
they get ignored or said no to in a strict voice they know that
they aren't going to get any treats so are not going to do it
again.
Clicker dog training works in such a way it reinforces good
behaviour. If your dog sits, click and give him a treat. The
next time he sits do the same but don't say anything to him. He
will soon realise that
when he sits he will get a treat and hear
a click, so when you eventually come to click before he sits he
knows to sit. Its not all that confusing when you think about it.
Punishment is not used with clicker dog training as researchers
believe that although punishment does stop some bad behaviour it
may also create another unwanted behaviour. Punishment is almost
always carried out after the dog has done something wrong so
dogs see punishment as a random consequence therefore punishment
doesn't really solve anything.
Clicker dog training is not only used or dogs! It is widely used
for other animals such as dolphins and horses. It is a widely
practiced training method and does produce results; if carried
out properly.
