Clicker training is a science-based system for teaching new behaviors with positive reinforcement. Students learn to use a consistent signal (the "click") to mark a desired behavior right as the behavior is happening, and then follow that signal with a motivating reward, such as the dog's favorite food, or toy. Because dogs understand precisely which action earned the click followed with their reward, they learn new behaviors quickly, easily and enthusiastically. (In our training, a word will be used as an alternative to the clicker.)  Essentially, positive reinforcement entails rewarding good behavior that you wish to see repeated with rewards, so that the learning experience will increase the likelihood of your dog repeating that particular behavior.

This training works with all breeds, all ages and all types of dogs. Even dogs who have been trained using "traditional," correction-based methods can rapidly learn clicker training and have fun in the process! Many owners are amazed when their previously shy and hesitant dog becomes an enthusiastic and creative learner once the clicker is introduced.  There is no dog is too young or too old to learn using this method – and old dogs really can learn new tricks! Clicker training is a fast, humane and enriching way of teaching dogs to be great companions. And because clicker training does not rely on punishment, force, aversive methods, sprays or choke collars to get results, it is the only method that is safely and effectively used with puppies and dogs. If you want to lay the foundation for a strong, lifelong relationship between you and your dog, then come join the fun in our training classes!
