MsZoraZ: I heard they are very easy to train, very smart dogs.
MsZoraZ: alternative intro: youtube.com/watch?v=_wv1uvvqaSw
bfair1206: Ya i ll have to go get one.
Kingsmorte: hey zak, i am pretty much brand new to being a dog owner and my puppy is about 4 weeks old and i've been looking into training him.. now this clicker training, once i feel my dog is pretty legit and obedient... i dont have to use the clicker anymore right?
RupertFilbert: No, they aren't. :) They're relatively easy, actually.
Gin0M3: can i use a lighter for a clicker ? its kinda noisy and sounds like it
josski32: Underseafishs: There are 2 reasons to use a pen as a clicker: 1) you want to start clicker training right away and you haven't had the chance to get a clicker 2) you have a shy/reactive dog and he/she is scared of the clicker; you would use the pen to get him/her used to the clicking sound so he/she isn't as scared of the real clicker.
Underseafishs: Yea but it has to be loud enough for the dog to hear it so It could hear it if the dog is doing something else so theres is no reason to use a pen
Underseafishs: Yea but it's not loud enough it's has to be loud so the dog could hear it if the dog I doing something else so there's really no reason to just use a stupid pen
kaykayloves2sing: also can you use a pen for a clicker
kaykayloves2sing: are papillons hard to trian
STRecordsMN: Can u subsitute the clicker with your own voice?
SCAM1948: I have a bull terrier is that hard dog to train. That is what i hear alot
MsZoraZ: Yes. You can praise when the dog does something you like, along with the noise of the clicker.
MsZoraZ: The top of a Snapple bottle.
forthewin30: how do i get my dog to feel like it is being rewarded when i click? How do i get him used to that? and can a Magyar Visla be used for such tricks?
Haayyyden: Can I use something other than a clicker? I have a few items that make noises like that, I would rather not go out and buy one if I can use something else.
MrEmil20: If I learn the dog what the clicker means, will the dog still react if I say "Good boy/girl!"?
MollieMalice: I can make that noise with my tongue :D
mugenshowdown: I use a stove lighter :)) but of course no fire :D
neil182sr: you can use a bottle cap
prdetailing: @ariannaisthebestable walmart has clicker as do most pet supply places :) or get them by the dozen on amazon
poptartman14: Awesome, thanks
Toureebo: thx, that made it clear :)
TheViper277: you click when he does something you want so you click in the end of its movement you want him to do. The clicker sound you learn him that means "Good Job" " I like what you did" "You win a prize". Hope that helped in everyvideo Zak is saying thaT :)
