Dog Training: Clicker Training Question.?
Well I just got a clicker to train my dog for and I need to know that if you are training the dog a new trick if it sits, do you say “Sit” then click and treat. Or do you make a motion with your hands and then click and treat?
Timing is the most crucial thing in clicker training. And you never put a word to something until the dog’s done it. So you get your dog to sit by holding the treat in your closed hand slightly above his head and back a little. That’s going to make him sit so he can keep his eyes on where the treat is.
The split second his butt hits the ground, you click and treat. After a couple of times, when he’s gotten the idea of what you want him to do, put the word “sit” to it. Then practice so he remembers – short training sessions, though, or he’ll get bored.
