Clicker training for dogs
 

Have any of you heard of clicker training dogs? It implements the use of a little box which makes a similar sound you may have heard from a metal toy cricket. The idea is to connect the clicker sound to a reward when the dog performs " come, sit, or stay" . You click the clicker when the dog performs correctly (timing is important) and then reward the dog with praise or a treat. I' m hearing great things about this method. Have any of you clicker trained your dog? What kind of results did you achieve? What worked well? What didn' t work well?
