In this final clicker training lesson, your dog will learn to incorporate a behavior after he’s heard the click in order to get the treat.
Get your bag of treats, clicker and a target stick that’s available online. Or you can make your own by getting a 12-inch dowel and covering it with colorful tape. Show the target stick to your dog and let him get acquainted with it the way dogs like to do. If he happens to touch it while sniffing it, click and then give him a treat.
You might have to shape your dog’s behavior if he’s reluctant to touch the target stick. You do this by rewarding every time he looks at the stick until he touches it. Eventually, he should get the idea that touching the stick means he’ll get a reward.
Help your dog to know the difference between “nose it” and “paw it” by using those cue words, then clicking and giving him a treat. Knowing how to do this will help your dog later when he’s learning how to respond to your commands as he navigates the agility obstacles.
Clicker training may not work for every dog. You can use another positive reinforcement technique that suits you both better. No matter what technique you use, it’s important not to coerce, or force, your dog into doing something he doesn’t want to do. The best agility dogs are the ones that enjoy what they’re doing with their handler.
