Clicker training is a fantastic way to mark and reinforce specific behaviors in your dog. The beauty of using a clicker is its consistency—unlike verbal praise, which can vary in tone and timing, the clicker provides a clear, immediate signal that says, “That’s exactly what I want!”
It’s also a key skill needed for desensitizing reactive dogs. By using the clicker as a marker, we can help reframe a dog’s response to triggers. However, this approach only works if the marker (clicker) has a strong history of reinforcement, like displayed in this video.
