– Using a clicker in
training can help you mark and reward the exact behaviors that you want your dog to repeat. I especially like this method for little dogs in particular. Rather than adding in extra calories, use part of their meal and/or supplements that they already get. I cut things into smaller
pieces whenever possible because size doesn't matter here. The first thing that you're gonna do is just associate the sound
of the click with the reward, rapidly, because timing matters here. (clicker clicks) Next up, slow down your reward system to where you click and then treat. (clicker clicks) Next, I'm gonna pair
the sound of the click with the exact behavior
that I want her to repeat with a rapid reward. Watch me. (clicker clicks) Last up, slow down your reward system.
So after you click, make the treat come a little bit slower to get that duration in. Watch me. (clicker clicks) You can read my article on Native Pet for more information about how and why to use clicker
training with your dog..
