Welcome! The Power of
3 Hours 33 Minutes $40.00 Clicker training (sometimes called marker training) is one of the most profound systems of training dogs that I have seen in my 50 years of owning, breeding and training working dogs. In reality this is a training system that is not that difficult to learn. In it's most basic form it's a method of communication that is very very clear for the dog. Dogs learn the clicker language quickly and when they do they thrive in the training. The clicker system produces dogs that love to train. I had been training dogs for almost 45 years when I started to learn this system. I felt like a kid in a candy store when I saw how well it worked and the attitude of my dogs that were being trained with clickers. The fact is I still feel like that when I see dogs work with clickers. It was not than many years ago (in 1990’s) that I was pretty vocal about how stupid I thought clicker training was. Those comments were made from a position of ignorance and a lack of understanding. Simply put, I was dead wrong and I made those comments without knowing the details of how the system worked. The power of clicker training lies in understanding and applying the details. Dog training is a learned skill. The goal of this DVD is to introduce dog trainers to the details of training with clickers. In my dvd I show and demonstrate the finer points of the clicker system. I not only demonstrate the use of clickers in the basic commands, but I also included examples of how clickers can be used in more difficulty exercises, like the retrieve and the send away. |
