Five steps to clicker training success – Fun practice!
October 2nd, 2009
by Casey Lomonaco (KPA CTP, APDT), proprietor Rewarding Behaviors Dog Training

   For more detailed instructions on developing your clicker skills, you can check out my blog entry, It’s not Click/Treat, it’s Click THEN Treat! Mechanical skills for clicker trainers.

Since good timing is at the heart of any training, check out this fun reflex tester to check your timing. Experiment with different colors and see if your speed improves.

Of course, the best way to practice your training skills is by clicking your dog for good behaviors! Happy clicking, Dogsters!

    Drats! The reflex tester link no longer works. Try this one instead. Warning! It’s challenging!
