Clicker Training-The 4 Secrets of Becoming a Supertrainer is finally available in English, and teaches you the latest ways to use a “clicker” to augment and solidify your dog’s obedience training. I am sure you have already seen examples of clickers being used by now. When you watched a show about dolphin training, or  have gone to an aquarium such as Sea World, then you have most likely seen and heard “clickers” being used by the trainers.

These little “clickers” make a distinctive noise when clicked. Clicker training teaches you when to use the clicker to aid your training. You learn to use the clicker along with positive training methods to get the best possible results in the shortest amount of time. In their book, the authors really help you understand why positive training works so well. You will learn  about a dog’s point of view, and how that can help you communicate with them to get better training results and create a stronger bond with your pet.

Because Clicker Training-The 4 Secrets of Becoming a Supertrainer teaches you how to become a good dog trainer you can avoid making dog training mistakes that will mess up your efforts with obedience training your dog. Morton and Cecile make the point that to train your dog to well, you must be a good trainer first. They will teach you how to become the Alpha dog-the leader-so that your dog eagerly follows your leads.

Not all dogs will respond to the same methods of training a particular exercise, so Morton and Cecile offer you a few different ideas to use as alternatives in case your dog isn’t responding to the first choice of methods. Just try one of the variations until your dog responds favorably to one of them.

You will use the clicker to let your dog know the moment he has dog the trick right. For instance, the moment your dog has completed the act of sitting when told to sit, you click the clicker to mark and reinforce the correct action. Clicker training will aid your dog’s ability to problem solve, as he will only get the click and some positive reinforcement with a pet or a treat, after successfully figuring out what he is supposed to do and does it properly.

Morton and Cecile guarantee you will love their training methods, and back that up with a 2 month money back offer.
