GlowWyrm Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 Do any of you use clicker training and if so, how has that worked out for you and your dog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 Tried it... didn't like it. It requires having a clicker on you at all times. If you can make that commitment go right ahead and train it. Personally I kept losing them and a simple 'good dog' usually gets them happy. I have however, seen other people use it with great success. Kris ------------------ Only dead fish go with the flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcNairnTurn Posted February 25, 2001 Report Share Posted February 25, 2001 I use the clicker for my "pup", but only for certain things...I know, sounds weird, but it's generally effective in situations where it's quicker than saying "good girl". I used it for awhile for agility obstacle training, but found it difficult to hold the clicker and the treats and run at the same time. I do use it successfully when I'm in the mood to teach silly tricks. It really comes in handy to refine a behavior...for instance, I taught her to cover her eyes with a paw, and I can "click" exactly where I want her paw to be much more precisely than I can voice it. All obedience I praise verbally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
