I've used a small clicker to train my yorkie to do basic training. Within the first week that she came into my home, I started to do the clicker training and she quickly learned how to sit on command in the first week. By the second week she already learned how to lie down on command. Scuddles learns so quick with the clicker! Although lately, she hasn't been in the mood to do any training.
Basically all I did was first condition her with the clicker. I just click and give her a treat right after the click and repeat it a couple times. Then I start to call her name to get her attention then click onced she looked at my face. Then I make her do something like sit a couple times (using a piece of treat to make her smell it) and click right when she sits a couple times and started to incorporate using the commands before the click. |
