That is my standard substitute for dogs that are afraid of the clicker. It\u2019s only good for close work, but you can also make a clicking noise with your tongue. Using your tongue to click has two advantages.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-long-is-clicker-training\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_is_clicker_training\"><\/span>How long is clicker training?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Remember that the clicker marks the moment your dog has done something worth rewarding. Not the other way around. Keep your training sessions short. Dogs learn better in bursts of 3\u201310 minutes than they do in long 30\u201360 minute sessions.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin-top: 0em; margin-bottom: 1em;\">\n<p><a class=\"ue6c2377bf6efbf8041e3022ad2295cc1\" href=\"\/diseases\/what-does-it-mean-when-a-dog-pull-their-ears-back.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><!-- INLINE RELATED POSTS 1\/3 \/\/--><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-make-a-homemade-dog-clicker-for\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_make_a_homemade_dog_clicker_for_training\"><\/span>How do you make a homemade dog clicker for training?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Steps<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Find a small aluminum jar lid.<\/li>\n<li>Place the jar lid face down on a flat surface.<\/li>\n<li>Tap the center of the jar lid with a hammer several times.<\/li>\n<li>Pick up the jar lid and flip it over.<\/li>\n<li>Press down the raised bump on the jar lid to make the clicking noise.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EfLoEo7P_mM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HPDOrEEsAJ8\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"do-you-need-a-clicker-to-train-a-dog\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_need_a_clicker_to_train_a_dog\"><\/span>Do you need a clicker to train a dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While it may not be necessary for learning to occur, a clicker is an excellent tool that, when used properly, can facilitate better training. Animals can and do learn without deliberate human-created markers; a marker may not be needed when reinforcement can be delivered immediately.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-you-clicker-train-older-dog\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_clicker_train_older_dog\"><\/span>Can you clicker train older dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Clicker training is a terrific, science-based way to communicate with your pet. It\u2019s easier to learn than standard command-based training. You can clicker train any kind of animal, of any age.\u00a0 Old dogs learn new tricks.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-clicker-training-better\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_clicker_training_better\"><\/span>Is clicker training better?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Training improved trick compliance but not dog-owner relationship or impulsivity. Clicker training made target training less challenging for owners to teach. Overall, clicker training was no more challenging than training with food alone. Participants found Clicker + food and Food-only training to be equally enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-129879\" src=\"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Is-clicker-training-better.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Is-clicker-training-better.jpg 696w, https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Is-clicker-training-better-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-you-use-a-clicker-for-bad-behavior\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_use_a_clicker_for_bad_behavior\"><\/span>Can you use a clicker for bad behavior?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to extinction, clicker trainers use negative punishment. Negative punishment is the removal of something in order to decrease the frequency of a behavior. Examples include removing attention, giving a dog a \u201ctime out,\u201d and feeding a treat to another dog (or eating it yourself).<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PS8sTLqKfA8\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-start-clicker-training\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_start_clicker_training\"><\/span>How do I start clicker training?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Choose a quiet room with no distractions. Before you start the training, introduce the clicker to your dog. With a treat in one hand and the clicker in the other, click the clicker once and immediately give your dog the treat. Repeat this a few times so that your dog soon learns to associate the click with a treat.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-hardest-trick-to-teach-your-dog\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_hardest_trick_to_teach_your_dog\"><\/span>What is the hardest trick to teach your dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>25 Most Difficult Tricks and Commands to Train Dogs<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wait.<\/li>\n<li>Bark or Speak or Howl.<\/li>\n<li>Army Crawling.<\/li>\n<li>Spin.<\/li>\n<li>Sit Pretty.<\/li>\n<li>Go and Fetch.<\/li>\n<li>Stand Tall (On Hind Legs)<\/li>\n<li>Say Your Prayers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/218Hdue8KPY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<p><!-- \u0420\u0435\u043a\u043b \u0432 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0442\u044c\u0435 3 --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-7-basic-dog-commands\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_7_basic_dog_commands\"><\/span>What are the 7 basic dog commands?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>More specifically, a well-behaved pup should respond to seven directions in order to become a good canine citizen: Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Heel, Off, and No.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-it-ok-to-make-out-with-your-dog\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_OK_to_make_out_with_your_dog\"><\/span>Is it OK to make out with your dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In most cases, we say it\u2019s better not to kiss your dog.
