I’m getting a dog soon and am reading up on clicker training, it looks great.
Has any one had success training their dogs using clickers?
Is it good and effective?
Do you have any pointers?
Many dog owners feel that training there pets is a critical aspect of owning the dog. However, there are just as many who feel that training the animal is extremely overrated, especially the aspect of training the dog to be on a leash. These owners feel that leash training is a big hassle or takes up too much of their time. In reality, I would have to say this equates to being a lazy owner or one who has erroneously overlooked this responsibility when it comes to owning a dog.
Training your puppy to be on a leash has huge benefits, the biggest one being control of them when they are full grown adults and a larger breed of 50 pounds or more. Trying to put a large dog on a leash for the first time without any training is about as easy as trying to break a stubborn mustang. You will get dragged all along the way and have no control over the dog.
i answered a question in detail, then received an email in my personal box on ‘How to Train you Pup” or some similar jargon. Anyone else getting spam like this?
Let’s be clear from the start. A potty is not used when puppy potty training. What we are talking about is house training your puppy so that it eliminates outdoors or in a designated indoor area rather than anywhere in the home.
1. Don’t look on puppy potty training as the unpleasant or messy side of owning a puppy. Rather see it as the first stage of a bonding process. One that will result in a happy and healthy relationship. That is the real reward of house training a dog.
I have had this maltese for around 2 months. She was born in Sept.
The last owner gave her to me because she could not train her and could not put her in a crate during the day during day care hours.
She will have a panic attack if you put her in one. I have never seen anything like it. She shakes and salivates enough to make a puddle.
I love this pup already. But I am at my whits end.
Things I have tried:
I take her out every few hours, she comes in and pees in the middle of the floor.
I walk her for 30 minutes and she come in and pees and poops within 10 minutes.
So I walked her twice a day and longer. Still she will not go till we get back home.
I sit outside with her and wait for 30 minutes and nothing.
I have my boy dogs go potty with her and nothing. One squats so I figured it would help. She just sniffs it and nothing.
I tried to do a treat and praise. It worked one time. i put her in the doggy run for two hours today. she came back in and peed within 5 minutes.
I am ready to get rid of her myself. I put down potty pads for my blind dog who is 12 when it is raining out. She wont use them to pee but only poop.
she has picked 3 spots to do this and I have blocked one off. And tried an other the living room but she will jump the gate. Which by the way is way taller then her.
Any ideas?
Believe it or not you actually have the opportunity to experience a dog training course over the internet, if you choose to do so. Many people have chosen this as a way to help properly train their little pooches and it can work! Some skeptics are probably leery about this type of thing, wondering how in the world this would be at all possible and one of the concerns is the fact that you will not have the opportunity to ask the teacher of the online dog training course any questions. If this too is a real concern for you then the way that you should look at it is, paying a real life hands on instructor is going to cost you much more than taking an online dog training course, where you watch a recorded piece of an instructor providing you with all of the information that you would need to train your dog appropriately.
i watch cesar on tv-that makes sense, i’ve read many books on”positive only” approaches-that makes sense too. i have tried both clicker training and cesar’s way. i feel very confused. and opinions are strong and dogmatic(no pun intended) in both “camps”. meanwhile, my dog still has problems. one “way” seems to work for some things, another for others.
I am taking my year old Australian Shepherd female dog to agility training and I have a pull tab for her and i noticed someone has this leash that has a handle on it but it is very short about probably 6 inches to a foot and is black and adjustable and is just like you can drop it when doing stuff so the leash does not get tangled any idea what i am talking about anyone and where i could look for similar tings?
If you are looking to train your dog you might consider using the ‘clicker training’ method, which has recently become popular amongst dog trainers all over the country. In this method the trainer has to make use of a clicker, a tiny plastic box with a metal button which makes a distinctive click sound once the button has been pressed. The training method is simple and is in many ways parallel to the positive training method. Here is what you have to do. Decide on a certain behavior which you want to teach or reinforce your dog to do. A number of behaviors/actions come naturally to the dog like sitting, eating, standing, barking etc. and these need just to be reinforced so that your dog knows when you want him to do what. Various other actions like acting dead, shaking hands, rolling over etc. do not come naturally to the dog and need to be taught. Clicker training can be used to do both.
Clicker training works according to the basic principles of operant conditioning, by associating the sound of the clicker with a food item which the dog particularly likes. Now all you have to do is use the clicker to command the dog to do something, the dog, given that he associates the sound of the clicker with the food, immediately obliges and the training is complete.
We’re adopting a two year old Retriever/Greyhound from our local humane society. I am not certain as to the level of training she has and want to try out clicker training with her.
I can’t seem to find definitive answers to the following:
1. When you click and treat, do you also praise? Should I be saying, “Good girl!” while I am giving her the treat?
