Clicker training techniques

Clicker training is a positive reinforcement method where a small device called a clicker makes a distinct sound to mark desired behaviors. When an animal performs the right behavior, the trainer immediately clicks, signaling that a reward (like food or praise) is coming. Over time, the animal learns that the click equals a reward, encouraging it to repeat the behaviors. This clear, consistent communication helps animals understand what is expected, making training effective and rewarding without using punishment. It’s a humane, focused approach that promotes trust and clarity between trainer and animal.
