rewarding them. Rewarding your dog for a job well done is

an important part of every sound training method, and as with

effective punishment, good timing is critical. However, timing

a reward with precision can be challenging, especially when

delivering a toy or treat from your pocket.

The clicker, which makes a noise that is perfectly consistent

and distinct, eliminates this problem by marking the exact

moment your dog does something correctly. Clicking right as

the behavior is occurring tells your dog that what he is doing in

that moment has earned him a reward. You may then deliver the

reward shortly afterward (a two second interval is best), even if

the dog has moved on to some other behavior.

3. Getting started with your clicker

To teach your dog what the click means, practice clicking and

then treating. Repeat until your dog clearly recognizes the sound

and responds with a look of anticipation.

4. Capturing and shaping

You may select any behavior your dog does on his own and put it

on cue, by clicking and rewarding when you see it. Take picking

up a toy or lying down. By clicking and rewarding, you mark

the behavior as something worth offering. Repeat until your dog

offers it frequently enough that you can cue it ahead of time.

Your dog will associate the cue with the selected behavior, after

which you only click and reward it when performed on cue.

To shape new skills, begin by clicking and rewarding the closest

behavior you are able to observe or elicit. As your dog offers

it more reliably, gradually raise the bar, only clicking and

rewarding those examples that come closest to the mark.

Your dog should enjoy working to earn clicks, and doing so

should develop his mind more fully.

Beginning electric collar training

When you feel your dog understands the obedience commands

on the leash we can now start with the electric collar training.

With the dog on the leash wearing the electric collar continue with

your obedience drills. Light stimulation (Nick or Pulsating Nick)

is going to be applied as a command is given; the stimulation is

removed as the dog complies. Through repetition, a dog learns

to turn off the light stimulation by performing the command.

When the dog complies with the command, we use praise/positive

reinforcement. The final step is the avoidance phase in which

the dog learns that he can avoid the stimulation altogether by

performing your commands. When these training procedures are

complete, the electric collar is used as a reminder when the dog

does not comply with your commands at home or in the field. Keep

your initial training sessions short and positive. Dogs have a short

attention span, especially young dogs.

How much stimulation to use

Always start with low levels of stimulation and work your way up

depending on the disposition of your dog and any given situation.

By using only enough stimulation to get your point across, you

will have a more controllable environment and a dog that is under

less stress. Animals (and humans) perform better in a less stressful

environment.
