A clicker is a simple device that can be used as a substitute for a collar. This is because the clicker is attached to a device that lets you know when the dog has done what you wanted it to do. The dog training collar is usually connected to a leash and would either have a spring or a pressure ring which gives a sign that the dog has done what is required of him/her. The clicker helps to train dogs by using sound only and therefore eliminates the need for shouting. As a result, the dog training is made more effective and much faster.
Teaching your dog to obey basic dog commands such as sit, stay, come, etc requires a lot of consistency and persistence on the part of you or your dog. Your pet will not learn quickly if you only tolerate their bad behavior. Dogs are social animals and need to be treated well in order to be happy. It is necessary to remember that dogs are basically pack animals and they need to display submission or aggression when they are faced with a member of the family who is dominating in the pecking order.
In this article we will be talking about some simple and easy to use training techniques that will help you teach your dogs to understand and follow basic dog commands. The goal is to be able to communicate with your dogs without saying anything. This is achieved by rewarding them for the behavior you wish them to perform.
One very effective technique of basic dog commands is called “verbal exchange.” In this technique, you instruct your dog by using words and then giving them a verbal reward when they behave in a way you approve of. For instance, if you want them to sit on command, you give them a treat when they sit. When they follow your instruction, you reward them verbally. You could also use the verbal reward/punishment technique while playing with your dog in the yard.
Another excellent technique for teaching your dog obedience commands is clicker training. Clicker training is actually based on a conditioning method called positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement teaches a dog to respond to a command with a treat or other type of reward. Clicker training adds a positive feeling to the training process because you can use the clicker to reward your dog every time he performs the desired behavior.
The basic dog commands we will be discussing in this article include: sit, come, stand, down, stay, heel, and more. Although there are many more commands available, these are the most commonly used. You should begin clicker training your dog immediately after you master the basic commands so you can apply the technique in a safe manner.
Clicker training provides a positive feeling to your dog because it reinforces the correct behavior by giving him the treat after each correct response. You will need a clicker and some treats to begin clicker training your dog. Begin by selecting a treat that your dog will enjoy and then clicking it as soon as he responds correctly to the command. You should begin to click at different points along the obedience training process to get him to learn quicker.
Basic dog commands are very important for you and your dog. Dogs are highly social animals and you want your dog to be obedient and friendly to his owner. Training your dog can be difficult, but with persistence you will find an effective technique to teach him. Remember, don’t overwhelm your dog or he may not retain the information and perform the obedience commands correctly. Keep it simple at the beginning until he is familiar with the dog training techniques. You will have a well trained dog that will love you for life.
