Clicker & Targets

Clickers and Targets - Effective Tools for Dog Training

Clicker training is a popular and effective method of dog training where a clicker is used to mark the exact moment the dog performs a desired behavior. The clicker acts as a clear and consistent sound signal that helps the dog understand what action is being rewarded. Clicker training can be used to teach dogs basic commands such as 'sit', 'down' or for more advanced elements of obedience and agility training.

Targets are an important tool in target training. By using target boards or target plates, you can get your dog to focus on specific tasks, such as touching an object with its paw or standing in a certain place. Targets are particularly effective for training precision and positioning in tasks that require precise movements, whether in agility, obedience or other training disciplines.
