Excellent Pets Training Clicker Clicker training is a very animal-friendly and effective way of training that can be used with all animal species. This clicker is easy to hang on the wrist, pants, or belt during training. The training method A clicker is a small box with a metal plate inside. When you press it, a metallic click can be heard. Clicker training is a method of training where the animal learns to associate its own behavior with an event in the environment. In practice, this means that when the animal exhibits desired behavior, it is rewarded by the owner. The animal will want to exhibit the desired behavior more often because it results in something positive. Undesired behavior yields nothing and is not punished. This makes this method of training very animal-friendly. To give an example of how this way of learning works: when a dog, for instance, knocks over a trash can once (own behavior) and then finds food (positive consequence), it will exhibit this behavior more often. On the other hand, if it does this multiple times without finding food (no reward for the behavior), this behavior will eventually disappear.
