| Do you use clicker training? Just wondering how many of you use clicker training and how successful have you found it? |

My furkids Donating Member | Morning! Funny you should this! I bought a clicker about 2 weeks ago..I am not using to make them do things I am using it to make the STOP doing things...Like terrorizing their big Maine Coon brother, barking when I leave, barking in the car, or biting at my feet when I try to leave. I was working better when I first started using it. But, I think they are getting used to the noise now and ignore it. Good Luck! I hope it works for you...Let us know

| Clicker Training Quote:
I use the clicker training with my Chihuahua. She is highly motivated by food; so training with the clicker is a breeze. I have found consistency to be the real indicator of success. HAGD! | |

| I have trained mine to come to me when I use the clicker. I use it when we are outside, because they seem to turn a deaf hear when I call them. They know they are going to get a treat when they hear the clicker, so they come immediately!! |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | I started Morgan's training using a clicker. She caught on very quickly. She did something right, she heard the click, and then got a treat. I used this for a few weeks and then progressed away from it. She'll still come running though when she hears it because she thinks she's going to get a treat.

| Yes yes yes! it's great for building the foundations of tricks and things. I can do brilliant "shaping" with Dougal but Dixie works best if you can "capture" the behaviour you want with the click. It's funny how differently they work.

| I tried the clicker with Toto but he is so timid that the clicking noise scares the beejeebees out of him. Any sudden noise scares him.

| Question: I got my Yorkie 3 weeks ago and she is now 11 weeks old. Is it too late to incorporate the clicker in her training? |

| Absolutely not! You can incorporate clicker training at any point in their life. Just follow the instructions on how to get started and go from there.

| I just bought a clicker and the book "Click & Easy" at Petco. Taz is starting to respond to it well. The book is very informative and it teaches basic obedience as well as tricks. I will keep everyone posted on his progress. He is 10 months old by the way and only had a few basic commands down when I got him 2 wks ago. (Sit occasionally and let's go Bye Bye down pat). |
