Clicker Training 101

I want to share a little secret with you.

Every day I get email from all over the world asking me training questions. There is a common question I get all the time. The question usually goes like this: “I have a boxer and I know they need to be trained differently than other dogs. Do you have any boxer training tips?’

    Is clicker training how you usual train your dogs? I haven’t seen you discuss this before and I’ve been doing some work with my dogs with the clicker. It is amazing how well they respond! Please continue to give advice on this method of training.
