Excellent Pets Training Clicker

<h2>Excellent Pets Training Clicker </h2> Clicker training is a very animal-friendly and effective method of training that can be used with all animal species. <This Clicker is easy to hang on the wrist, pants or belt during training. The training method A clicker is a small box with a metal plate inside. When you press it, a metallic click can be heard. Clicker training is a method of training in which the animal learns to associate its own behaviour with an event in the environment. In practice, this means that when the animal shows desired behavior, it is rewarded by the owner. The animal will want to show the desired behavior more often, because it will give him something positive. Undesirable behavior does not yield any results and will not be punished. This makes this method of training very animal-friendly. To give an example of how this way of learning works: if a dog knocks over a trash can once (own behavior) and then finds food (positive consequence), he will show this behavior more often. On the other hand, if he does this multiple times without any food being available (no reward for the behavior), this behavior will eventually disappear. Teaching Clicker training is mainly used to teach something. As soon as the animal understands the exercise well and performs it correctly, the clicking is reduced. This method not only allows new commands to be taught, but also unwanted behavior (such as pulling on the leash, lunging at other dogs, etc.) can be prevented.)be tackled. Originally, clicker training was mainly applied to dolphins and wild animals. Nowadays it is a widely used method for training dogs as well. There are even owners who use the clicker when training cats, rabbits, birds, etc. Advantages The clicker always produces the same sound ('click'). This is a very clear signal for the dog, often clearer than a word or sound you make yourself. One of the main advantages of using a clicker is that you can time it down to the second. With a click you can reward desired behavior. Training methods that use only food as a reward are often given too late and unintentionally reward other behavior.  Click sound Some dogs are a bit wary or even afraid of the sound at first, but this can often be quickly remedied by muffling the sound (by holding the clicker behind the back) or by using a clicker that produces a softer sound. It is often said that the clicker is not suitable for classroom training, because dogs then start to react to the clickers of other owners. In that case, a clicker with different tones can be used. In practice, however, we see that this problem hardly occurs when training is done with attention. Clicker Training in Practice First, the dog must learn that a click is a predictor of a reward. This is taught by clicking and immediately giving the dog a training snack or food. When the dog understands this, you can move on to teaching certain exercises. In the beginning, there is a click (and therefore a feed) for every good 'start' to the exercise. The dog can be stimulated to make this 'initiation' by means of gestures. In some cases, the dog is simply waited for to spontaneously make a start. For example: when you want to teach the dog to stand from a sitting position, you click (and feed) in the beginning for minimally lifting the hindquarters. After a few repetitions, the click is delayed a little longer to increasingly demand more of the desired exercise from the dog. Continue in this manner until the dog has mastered the exercise perfectly. Only then is a command linked to the exercise. When the entire exercise is performed correctly on command, the clicking is reduced. In this way, the dog also starts to think for itself and look for what is asked of it. Owners who frequently use clicker training sometimes also give a short game as a reward instead of food. </In short, clicker training is not only very effective, but also a very fun way of training and keeping busy with your four-legged friend!
