operant conditioning (clicker training)

[kirama]

These are for anyone who says that operant conditioning (clicker or +R training) won't work for their dog because it's too 'wild' and won't listen

I know that clicker training works...I have dogs that are 5, almost 6, years old and I started clicker training last year. If I have only 10 minutes a day, I can teach a new command to my dog.

I just finished working with my puppies. I don't have the available time to do one on one clicker training for them and they are learning in a group! When they sit, they get a click and treat. I didn't think it would work since the click was only to mark the good behavior of one, but I found that it is working! Today I had all 6 puppies sitting for a click and treat...all at the same time! They are only 10 weeks old.

I think that clicker training is the best method ever developed! I have seen it work wonders and it is such a cooperative method...I couldn't return to any other method now that I have tried it...it works so quickly too...one session and the dogs have it...without a command! They just offer the behavior that gets the marker (click) and treat. Amazing!

This was fun watching the tigers and big cats responding to clicker training too...thanks for posting!

I studied operant conditioning in psychology class. This cklicker training is reliable for training dogs.
