Clickin' For Life Dog Training

Scientifically speaking, Clicker Training comes from the principles of both operant conditioning and classical conditioning. Training relies on positive reinforcement rather than coercion or punishment to reinforce desired

behaviors.

What is Clicker Training?

It's all possible through "Clicker Training"

Clicker Training is more than a method, more than a set of step-by-step recipes to achieve desirable behavior. Clicker Trainers who learn the underlying principles

have at their disposal a powerful set of tools that enable them to analyze behaviors, modify existing methods for individual animals, and create new ones where none previously existed. as a trainer, the clicker is used as a marker signal to tell when the dog does something you want! In other words the clicker almost becomes a "picture" of the behavior you are training for.

More importantly, Clicker Training is more than using a clicker to train your dog. It is a different way of thinking, a way of relating to animals that creates a partnership that is mutually reinforcing and pleasurable. Clicker Training is not only a technology for training animals, it is a training philosophy.
