The Secret To Training Dogs to be Happy, Well Adjusted And Well Behaved.

Dogs are fantastic additions to our lives.  They’re happy to see us when we come home.  They sit on our laps or snuggle with us in bed when we’re not feeling well.  They’re entertaining, they’re confidantes, and they really are our best friends.  It’s reasonable that you want your dog to have everything that he wants, it’s also reasonable that you want your dog to behave well both inside and outside of the home.  It’s reasonable that you want to know the best and most effective information on training dogs.

The truth to keep in mind when you’re training dogs is that your dog prefers some sort of structure.  They prefer that you’re the boss and that you provide a series of rules and expectations for them.  It makes them feel safe, secure and it helps them to trust you. 

This bond that you create with your dog when you train them can only happen if you train them with positive reinforcement tools rather than negative reinforcement tools like choke collars, electronic fences or collars, and even yelling.  Training dogs with positive reinforcement creates a bond with your dog that just cannot be replicated any other way.  The best and most effective tool you can use train dogs positively is to use ‘clicker training.’

Clicker training dogs is an animal training method based on behavioral psychology that relies on marking desirable behavior and rewarding it.  Or to put it more simply, it’s a training method that uses a tool, a clicker, that tells your dog the instant it has performed a correct or desirable behavior. 

A clicker, combined with combined with positive reinforcement like verbal praise and tasty treats, is an effective, safe, and humane way to teach your dog any tricks or behaviors that you want them to do.

Here’s how it works.  You, the trainer, click the very instant your dog performs a behavior that you want them to perform. You can actually train your dog to clicker train by training him to do a behavior that he enjoys performing like fetching a ball. 

Throw the ball, your dog chases the ball, picks it up and brings it to you to throw again, the instant he drops the ball in your lap, you click and reward.  Very soon, your dog will begin to associate the sound of the click with his reward something it likes.  Since it wishes to repeat that pleasurable experience, it will repeat the action it was doing when it heard the click.

Clicker training dogs can be used to train behaviors that you want like sit, stay, and walking on a leash but it can also be used to train away unwanted behaviors like going to the bathroom inside, begging, barking and that ever annoying “let’s wrap the leash around your legs” game.
