A clicker is a small handheld device that makes a distinct clicking sound.

It allows you to communicate with your dog & reward desired behaviors with precision.

Clickers can be used to teach a variety of commands.

Begin by "charging the marker" — this step associates positive behavior with the sound of the clicker.

[{"selector":"#anim-7c8d8790-bb83-4229-8648-4e09a1f4f21d","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3bdd3e02-325d-4294-8070-52efeed56fc8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Learn more

Such as giving your dog a treat every time they hear the sound.

[{"selector":"#anim-9cffbb02-f0f5-4971-84dc-ad594968c91e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fe77ab5b-a4b4-4f6e-87a9-8ad0ed826f23","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d98f6ab0-4d7e-4da0-b456-26b1abc5a84f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Learn more

Next, define clear goals.

[{"selector":"#anim-946d9d41-faf2-4123-a41d-5ed8df764f04","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e8824306-eb08-425a-9d96-417e09e33004","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -321.36753%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

For example, if teaching a dog to heel, immediately mark the instance when they are at your side.

[{"selector":"#anim-8f89de03-28b7-4095-88be-ff571781dc5e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c19b727e-b117-4a8d-af52-f1c71b1c5b93","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 166.62876%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Always reward with treats when the desired behavior is performed to keep the dog interested.
