You can teach your dog agility using clicker training. All you need to get started is a bag of treats, a clicker and a willing dog.
Step 1: Start when your dog is hungry, right before mealtime. Show your dog the clicker, click it and then give him a treat. He might be startled by the sound of it so you can muffle it in your hand at first until he gets used to it. Once he associates the click with a treat, he won’t mind it at all. Do this activity with your dog no more than 5 – 10 minutes a day until he associates the click with a treat.
Step 2: Once they’ve learned the association between a click and a treat, you need to vary the amount of time between the click, treat and receiving the treat. To do this, click, wait 5 seconds, then give the treat. Change the amount of time to be more or less each time. Your dog may be impatient or confused but once he learns to wait patiently for the treat, you can move on to the next step.
Step 3: Now they must learn that they can receive the treat anywhere, not just from your hand. You do this by clicking and then tossing the treat in the air for them to catch wherever it lands.
Whenever you spend time doing clicker training with your dog, always do it in 5 – 10 minute increments and have some playtime afterwards. My next blog posts covers the final steps in clicker training.
