Top Tips for using your clicker:
Before you start training with your clicker, do a quick check to ensure your dog isn't worried by the sound, start with the clicker on the lowest volume setting.
Keep training sessions short and fun! You want your dog to love training and if you get angry, frustrated or ask for too much, your dog will not enjoy it.
Do not point the clicker at your dog, hold it in your hand close by your side.
The click must only be used to mark a good behaviour, not to get your dog's attention.
Click only once each time.
The clicker is not a command to tell the dog what to do nor is it the reward. The clicker indicates to your dog that they have got something right and the reward is to follow.
Getting started with your clicker.
You will need some reward treats for your dog during training sessions. Make sure the treats are small yet really tasty and part of your dog's total daily food allowance.
Find a quiet area where there are no distractions.
For your dog to associate the click sound with a reward, you must first "charge the clicker".
To do this, click and then immediately give your dog a treat.
Do not click and reward at the same time; the treat must follow the click.
Repeat this until your dog becomes alert to the sound and starts to expect a treat from you.
In the early stages even if you click by accident, you must reward your dog.
