| Simple piece of metal that makes a click sound, like pushing on a jelly jar lid(dink - donk). You give a treat when it is clicked. The dog associates the clicker with doing right. So then you click when the dog is doing right. Like getting the dog to sit, click in the sit position and reward then click for sitting longer and reward and so forth. This way you can shape a behavior like you want. It is like saying good dog, but more pricise about the exact time the dog is doing right. You could click when the dog is airbourne in the middle of a jump and teach her to jump. Hope all that makes since. |
