Clicker training marks the correct behavior at the exact moment with a "click" and then rewards it. This clarity lets your dog instantly understand what it is being rewarded for.

How the Clicker Works

The click means "that's right, a reward is coming." First you pair the click with a reward (charging), then you mark behaviors.

The Charging Step

For a few sessions, click + reward immediately without waiting for a behavior. The dog learns the click = reward link.

Mark the Behavior

Click the moment the desired behavior happens, then reward. Timing is critical; the click must be at the exact moment.

Clicker Tips

• Always reward after a click
• Watch your timing
• Keep sessions short
• No clicker? Use a consistent word ("yes")
