A Clicker Training For Your New Pup

We have four different trainers that work for Double G Kennels. One of the benefits of purchasing a pup from us is an introduction to training that starts with the clicker. Remember to ask for a free clicker with the purchase of your new pup.

Operant conditioning is a scientific term that describes the way animals learn from the consequences of certain behaviors. Positive reinforcement is a type of operant conditioning often used in dog training.

Clicker training, a common form of positive reinforcement, is a simple and effective training method.

The clicker is a metal strip inside a small plastic box that makes a distinct clicking sound when pressed. The click is much faster and more distinct than saying “good dog” and much more effective than using treats alone. To teach a dog the meaning of the click, a treat is given immediately after clicking. Once the dog learns the positive effects of the clicking sound, the clicker itself acts as a conditioned reinforcer.

According to Alyssa Walker of Walker Dog Training, clicker training is not meant to completely replace the use of treats. The sound of the click instantly tells the dog that what he has done will earn him a reward. To emphasize this, clicks should frequently be followed by treats.

A Click Equals a Treat

When you click your clicker to mark a behavior, you must give your dog a treat. You need to teach your dog that the sound of the click is an extremely reliable predictor that he is about to get a treat. If you don’t always give a treat after you click, the clicker begins to lose some of its effectiveness. You don’t always have to use a clicker when you train your dog, but if you click, you must give a treat.

Give the Treat as Quickly as Possible After You Click

If you click your clicker and then take more than a second or two to give your dog a treat, your dog may not understand that there is any connection between the sound of the click and getting a treat.

Timing is Everything

It’s important that you click the clicker at the exact moment your dog performs a behavior. If you aren’t precise with your clicker, you might end up reinforcing the wrong behavior. For instance, if you ask your dog to sit, and he does it, you should click the minute his rear end hits the floor. If you wait even a few seconds too long, your dog might start getting up, and the behavior you mark is him raising his bottom a few inches from the floor. You are not reinforcing the behavior you want. Be sure that you are clicking to mark the exact behavior you want.

Keep Your Clicker Handy to Capture Behaviors

Capturing behaviors is a great way to teach your dog new behaviors with very little effort on your part. Keep your clicker and a handful of treats handy, and whenever you catch your dog doing something you like, simply click and treat. You will be amazed at how quickly your dog can learn new behaviors this way.

Use Your Clicker to Shape Behaviors

You can also train your dog step-by-step by shaping behaviors with the clicker. This technique allows you to break down more complicated actions into smaller steps so they become easier for your dog to learn.

Go Back a Step

It can be frustrating when your dog seems to know a command, and then begins to make repeated mistakes. Your dog is not misbehaving. You probably moved ahead a little too quickly, and now your dog is confused about what you want him to do. Instead of scolding him, go back a step or two in the training process, and then begin to move ahead more slowly. For example, if you are teaching your dog to stay, he may do fine when you have him hold the stay for 5 seconds, but when you try to get him to stay for 20 seconds, he just can’t do it. Try going back to having him hold the stay for 5 seconds, and then click and treat. Practice a few times, and then add a few more seconds to the stay. If your dog is making mistakes, chances are you moved ahead too quickly for him.

Keep it Clicker Training Positive

Remember that clicker training is supposed to be fun for you and your dog. If you find yourself getting frustrated, end the training sessions. You can go back later and start fresh. Keep training sessions short (no more than 10 minutes), and try to end each one on a positive note

Development Of The Learning Process

The head start program will have clicker training and other positive reinforced training and development for your young puppy. The most critical period in a dog’s life is the first 6 months. During this period a puppy is the most open to learning. This is when the pup learns the fastest, when he most readily masters new tasks and when he adapts most readily to new environments. Double G Kennels puppy head start program is designed and structured to maximize the opportunity provided by this age period. We give puppies a complete behavior and exposure base to fully prepare them to advance rapidly at being a phenomenal pet!  Puppies in our head-start program will be clicker trained to obey simple commands.  This is all positive reinforcement training using treat, praise, or playtime.  All required vaccinations and worming will be done during this extended time. Pups in head start will stay an additional 4 weeks to  12 weeks of age  at an additional cost of $300 and be better prepared to go home and be potty trained.

Our puppy head start program focuses on 3 basic facets of the learning process:

1.Development of the learning process — Puppies learn and are thoroughly programmed to offer behaviors in order to “buy” rewards, such as treats or playtime.

2.Development of self control — Puppies learn to inhibit and control reactive responses, and to sit quietly in scenarios of great temptation.

3. Programming of the core behavioral skills required for the pups to be great pets. — Puppies are programmed on  socialization to people and other dogs.  The pups are also socialized with children–which generally allows them to develop sound temperaments.  We also work on Bite Inhibition-  training for a “soft mouth.” It teaches your pup to use his mouth gently with people.
