Clicker training

Hi there from Susan Marlowe CPA of Dallas!
I make no secret of the fact that I am a huge fan of clicker training. It is a positive, fun and enjoyable way to train your dog. Old methods of dog training involving choke chains and other unpleasant sensations made training a chore for you and could sometimes terrorize the poor dog. With clicker training, the dog actually looks forward to the training sessions. It's wonderful.

I hesitated to start clicker training at first because I thought it was gimmicky. Actually, though, it is based on solid logic and an understanding of the canine mind. The clicker creates a unique sound that is only used when you want the dog to know "that's what I wanted" and the following treat ensures that the pooch remembers that the clicker is a great thing.

My chihuahua is quite the little performer and he always looks forward to clicker time. You can ween the dog off treats after a while, giving a treat every 3 or 4 clicks. Best of all, it increases your dog's obedience overall. The dog knows that if you call him, you mean to treat them. What could be better?

Bye from Susan Marlowe CPA
