Positive Reinforcement Clicker Training
Positive Reinforcement Clicker Training is a scientific method which involves a marker and a reward that the dog truly desires. The clicker serves as a marker, every time we "click" the clicker, we are telling the dog that at the exact moment they heard the click they did what we wanted them to do. Every time we click the clicker, a reward needs to immediately be given to the dog so that the dog makes the association of hearing the click means they did something right and a reward is on its way. If the dog does something that we don't want him/ her to do, we simply ignore that behavior. By ignoring the incorrect behavior we are telling the dog to try again. With positive reinforcement clicker training, the dog will never get punished if he/she does an incorrect behavior. With this technique, your dog will grow a stronger bond with you and will never be fearful of you or during your training sessions.
Many people believe that you will have to use a clicker and treats for the rest of the dogs life in order for your dog to perform the behaviors that you asked, that is not the case at all. Once your dog has fully learned the behavior using a clicker and positive reinforcement, you no longer have to use these items when asking your dog to do a behavior, you can simply give your dog a neck scratch or say "good boy/ good girl"... although, your dog will never be upset to receive a treat every now and then for doing a behavior well!
