Question by ???: how to teach dog using clicker training if it was taught by voice and treats?
my 11 month old puppy was taught sit, shake, and lie down without a clicker. Now that I bought a clicker I don’t know how to introduce this type of training to her. Because I used my voice, encouragement, and treats, how am i supposed to get her to recognize the clicker?

Oh- and what are some good tips and tricks for training? Does a clicker really work?

BQ- What are your dogs names and breeds?

I’m working on training my dog tricks. He can so far:
Sit
Lie Down
Hand
Jump/Up

I want to teach him how to play dead (fall on his side) when I say BANG. Any tips?
Thanks!

This video is a how to video on how to teach your dog to target an object with his front paws. This is not only a great game to teach your puppy or dog how to learn to learn, but it is the foundation for many behaviors and tricks. Tricks with this foundation include- wave, shake , high five, standing up, hands up, close the door, cop cop, say your prayers, descrimination, freestyle foot work and more. Check out zsianz1 ‘s video on how to teach a high five using this technique! www.youtube.com Take care with large breed dogs or dogs who have sharp toe nails as you can get slapped. Perhaps teach shake down the line when you have more experience as a trainer so that your large dog doesnt learn to paw at you as their favorite behavior. The great thing about the technique that I am using is that the dog isnt learning to paw at your skin, but at an object, so you can get that on stimulus control before it is just your arm (for very large and powerful dog breeds). You can also click them fore being gentle before you switch to using just your hand for shake.

I have a 4 year old female black labrador, she can do the following tricks/basic training…
1. Sit
2. Lay Down
3. Roll Over
4. Play Dead
5. Round & Round (Spin) But she knows it by the command round and round.
6. Paw
7. Other Paw
8. High 5

Is there any other tricks or basic training i can teach my dog?
Thanks for your help
