Herbal DogTips & Products for Your Herbal Dog

Whether you hire a professional dog trainer, or decide to train your dog yourself, you’ll love hearing about clicker training for dogs.

According to Karen Pryor, clicker training is an animal training method based on behavioral psychology that relies on  marking desirable behavior and rewarding it.

The clicker, which is a small mechanical device that fits in your hand and makes a “click” sound, tells your dog when he’s doing the right thing. Combined with positive reinforcement, it is a humane and safe way to teach your dog or other animal companion good behavior.

The concept of clicker training is 70 years old, but it wasn’t introduced to the United States until the late 1980’s by Karen Pryor and her dog trainer, Gary Wilkes (and some of their friends).

Karen is the official clicker trainer and best resource for learning about this gentle and compassionate way to train your dog.
