Using Clicker Training on Dogs
THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.

What works for adult dogs is effective for young puppies as well.As is the standard in dog training, the reason for clicker training is to have dogs associate the sound of the click with a certain behavior, hopefully positive.

Why behavior education holds clicker training is high esteem is no surprise.The sound of the click marks the specific moment your dog has successfully complied with a command; it lets him know what exactly you’re giving him treats for.
How the Clicking Works.
Perhaps because of positive feedback, you’d now like to learn how clicker training works so you can use it on your little furry friend or to teach your dear old companion some fancy new tricks.The clicker training is a reward system - allowing your dog to associate the click with rewards for bidding your command.When training your dog to sit on command, you can deliberately push his rump downward while saying, “Sit.”.As soon as his bottom bumps solid ground, click then reward him with a treat.Do this several times.Soon, your pet understands the click, the command and the treat come together.

Dog Clicker Training.
To see is to believe; try it and be convinced.Be warned however, that when you start using the clicker on your dog, don’t forget to.
Give your dog a treat every time you allow him hear the clicking sound.The clicker is a prop for training.You should not use it beyond of training sessions.When your dog shows understanding by doing as you say, you can put the clicker aside.
Persist.Animals differ in intelligence, as you and I do.Their intelligence notwithstanding, dogs are not as smart as humans.It’s logical to not have high expectations of a dog especially if this is their first time being trained.Don’t drive yourself and your dog too hard.
End every training session on a good note.Your dog will recall the last thing you did on the session.If things don’t go as planned, don’t let it end with your dog feeling bad; he’d be reluctant to try again.To ensure the session ends with your dog feeling hopeful, revert to an old command you know he has mastered well.Run him through the sit command two more times before you say the session is over for the day.Don’t forget to click and give him a treat.He’d be looking forward to more training session.
Be Precise.
Since clicker training is all about timing, you want to be precise.Your dog needs your timing to be perfect to easily associate the commands with the sound of the clicks.Prior to introducing the clicker to your dog, practice your clicks.
