Using a clicker to train your dog is an extremely rewarding and fun approach to dog training. And most importantly, it works! This simple little training aid will go a long way to encouraging positive behavior and instituting obedience as well as tricks into your dog’s life.
What Is A Clicker?
A clicker is a very simple and compact tool that simply makes a ?click? sound when the trigger is pressed. Animal lovers who condone positive dog training are seeing amazing results from utilizing a clicker instead of other more negative approaches when using training aids. And amazingly, clickers are being used successfully in the training of cats, horses, and even dolphins!
Dog training should begin the very first day you bring your seven-to-eight-week-old puppy home. However, many inexperienced dog owners are afraid to start training their new puppy at such an early age. They have a training phobia which makes them think that starting certain training methods and obedience protocols with a young puppy may cause the dog to not like them. In addition to this worry, they are also afraid that they may injure the new puppy.
If you fall into this category of a new dog owner who has the same dog training phobias, then it is time to educate yourself on the truth. The fact is that early dog training will help to create an even stronger bond between you and the pup than if you waited until he is older. And as far as worrying about hurting the little guy, injuries should be nonexistent so long as you are gentle.
I’ve got a very fun trick that you can train your dog to do that will actually get him to help you clean up your dirty laundry. I’m not kidding ? it’s called the ?laundry pickup trick?. After you train your dog to react to the command ?pick up the laundry?, he will run around to each room and literally collect the dirty clothes that are laying on the floor. But that’s not all - he will also place the dirty laundry in your basket!
?But what if my dog is a laundry thief and has a bad habit of grabbing any piece of clothing he can find and hiding it in his bed?? - you may ask. Well luckily for you a dog that already has this habit tends to learn this trick the fastest. They are the most qualified candidates!
