Page 3: Introduction
Training will become a fun activity you both enjoy! Behaviour that gets rewarded gets repeated. With clicker training, a sound is used to mark the exact behaviour we like, and then followed immediately with a reward. The reward is often a tasty food treat but may be anything your pet wants or needs. -

Practice Your Timing If you are new to clicker training you will want to practice your timing away from your dog before you attempt any training. If you want your dog to understand the click, your timing of the click needs to be precisely at the moment he is performing the wanted behaviour. -
Page 5: Before You Begin
How is your timing? Practice until your timing is precise. Some people prefer to hold their Clicker in one hand versus the other, but it is helpful to practice with the device in each hand. Becoming ambidextrous with the training tool will make it easier to accommodate different exercises as you train. -

To make this association, along with your dog, you will need: • The Clicker • Some tiny, very tasty treats (consider daily caloric intake and allergies) • A space free of distractions This exercise is only to make the association, not to train a specific behaviour. -

You can also use the Clicker to click the dog when he is walking beside you and give a treat reward by your side. If the lead is pulled tight, simply stop walking until your dog turns to you or returns to your side, then click and reward. -
Page 10: Teaching "Sit
To add the verbal cue say “Sit,” then quickly follow it with the hand motion. Continue to click and reward the behaviour. When the dog is responding quickly to the word “sit” before you even start the hand motion you can simply stop using the motion. www.petsafe.net... -
Page 11: Train No Jumping/Lunging
These behaviours can often be eliminated with the use of clicker training. One of the best ways to accomplish this is to train the dog to do behaviours you like, such as sit and/or stay. A dog that is sitting cannot be jumping and a dog that is performing stay cannot be lunging and barking at other dogs, people, wildlife, cars, etc. - Page 12 Radio Systems Corporation Radio Systems PetSafe Europe Ltd. 10427 PetSafe Way 2nd Floor, Elgee Building, Market Square Knoxville, TN 37932 Dundalk, Co.
