melly Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I keep seeing the word "click" used with training. Displaying my ignorance here--what is meant by that term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melly Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Thanks, Nancy. Good article. It doesn't say what the "clicker" is. Maybe I'm being too concrete. Is a "clicker" a thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisingRiver Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Yes it is. Here's a photo/description of one: http://tinyurl.com/fcee2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat's Dogs Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 In short: I clicker is a noise maker. You hit the button and it makes a strong "click" sound - used for marking behaviors and for some dogs it really speeds up training. It does the same thing that saying "good dog" does but helps us silly humans be a little more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
