BASICS OF CLICKER TRAINING

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST!! a down to earth beginning guide to starting clicker training! And more to come in the weeks ahead! Quoting diretly from the first paragraph:
"the whole key to clicker training is to get the dog to a stage in his training where you can quickly reinforce a behavior that he does in order to tell him that he is "doing something right". The clicker is a substitute for "good dog" and has more meaning because it is very specific to the dog. for example there are dozens of times every day and many situations where you use the words "good dog" (or at least there should be) but when you use a clicker you are working towards the end result of putting the dog into a "learning mode" and in the end he will understand, when you are "clicking" that he has performed a behavior which was correct and he will be rewarded."
