Clicker Training
We believe that it is important to develop a special relationship and bond with your dog using reward based training with a clicker. A clicker is small handheld device that, as it's name suggests, "clicks" when you press it. Your dog learns to associate the click with having carried out a behaviour that you wish to encourage - and it's remarkable just how quickly your four legged best friend will cotton on to this technique! You can pick up a cheap clicker from your local pet shop or dog training club. Alternatively you may be able to create your own unique click sound or use a suitable word.

In the "The Friendly Dog Club: Basic Training" we cover the fundamental elements of reward based clicker training. Having mastered this the app moves you on to doggy push ups (sit, down and stand), targeting (such things as your hand, toys and a mat) and the all important "leave it" command. We round off with some useful hints and tips helpful for any dog owner.

Please note that this app relies heavily on video training and requires an internet connection to stream the video to your device. Please consider any bandwidth allowance you may have when using this app.
