yellowlabsrule Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 Does anyone use a clicker for training their dogs? If so, how has it worked? Quote
abker17 Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Yes, I use it mostly in agility training. It works GREAT! I highly recomend it!!!!!!!! :D Quote
Nancy B Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Yes, both of my dogs are clicker trained. A while ago there was a long thread about clicker use in the "everything about dogs" area. I'll see if I can find it and bump it up to the top. Quote
GoldenLuv Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 I use the clicker on a couple things. We don't use it for agiity but I have seen people use it for agility and it worked. I started a while ago and she was taught the watch me command. I like the clicker training way... I just did not start in the beggining so I am just using it to teach new stuff. Quote
yellowlabsrule Posted August 6, 2003 Author Posted August 6, 2003 You eventually phase the treat out, right? Do you phase the clicker out also? Quote
Carolk9s Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 I have used clicker with Brittany and Candy. Both girls reacted quite well to it, especially Candy. I tried it with Jesse, he hated it. Yes you slowly fade the treats and the clicker. I find it helpful though to occaisionally reinforce with the clicker and treats. I also use it when I'm teaching or reinforcing anything a little different in our agility practice. Quote
