Definetly for Clicker training! Very safe, humane (no shock or pain), and easy to use and follow.

definately agree clicker training is one of the most affective ways of training that i use and you can use it on any species including humans ;)

Have tried more times than i care to remember to clicker train my dog. Its a no go - she is terrified of the noise it makes, I started charging the clicker and she just about manages to be in the same room as it when it clicks - she knows it means a treat coming which she thinks is great - but I could see she was getting no enjoyment out of it the noise was just too much. So have relegated the clicker to the back of the drawer - its a shame I think its a fantastic way to train, but just not for my little dog.

Suz23, this happens sometimes. If your dog has problems with the sound, try lessening it by placing a towl over the end and clicking (it makes it quieter and a much deeper tone) or place it in your pocket and click (same effect). Sometimes, a clicker is just not right for a dog who's ears are far too sensitive to handle it. But the average dog is very trainable to it, and very excited to learn in such a way.

Have tried everything - had help from someone who is very knowledgeable - unfortunately shes just too noise sensitive and I was concerned as to how it was making her react to other noises - it was a positive thing. As I said its a huge shame as for me clicker training is by far one of the best methods of training. But not knowing what my dog has been through before I got her I have no idea why she reacted so badly - but she is incredibly noise sensitive.

i use the click of my tounge insted its there every time you need it then follow by a treet, it works wonders i do use the conventional clicker with clients but when i compete i cant take any thing in the ring so a quiet click with my tounge works the dog heres but no one else and they know the treat will come when out of the ring. there are volume controled clickers and now electric collar clickers that are on the collar and just let out a quiet click i use these in my clicker classes so dogs dont think they are being clicked when several clickers are in use.

Hello

I'm trying to train my Rotti with a clicker but I can't seem to get him accustomed to the clicker. I have tried clicking and treating and then trying just click to see if he turns around exoecting the treat but he doesn't at all. I really want to get him used to it as I think clicker training is very good. Has anyone got any advice on how to condition him to the clicker at all???

the treat may not be enough try a better food reward cheese or hot dogs work well or lots of love and play, also conditioning takes time so keep trying it will come
