RESPOND
TO THE CLICKER
Basically, you want to "catch" good behavior with the clicker. What this means is that you
want to train your dog that whenever you click (which means he has done
something good.) The way we train the dog to respond to the clicker is simply by
clicking and immediately treating the dog. It won't take your dog long to
understand that whenever he hears the clicker he'll get a treat. This is an
essential step in clicker training your dog. Another term that we will use is
jackpot. This is an extra reward that you give your dog, usually when he has
done exceptionally well or performed the trick perfectly for the first
time.
Step
1:
Click and give your dog a treat.
Step
2: Repeat about 30 times. This teaches your dog to associate the
click with the treat.
Step
3: To maintain this connection, it is important to follow the
rule: Never click without treating and never treat without clicking.
