Clickertraining:
The 4 Secrets Of Becoming A Supertrainer

What is Clicker Training? Clicker training is a dog training method which uses a clicker to communicate to the dog that he has done something right. It goes well beyond positive training in that, instead of simply teaching the dog to be a "nice" dog by doing what you want him to do, it pushes the envelope further: it teaches him to be "good" at figuring out what is expected from him.

With each click, the dog learns that what he just did was right. It encourages the dog to think for himself and solve challenge after challenge. It uses the dog's intelligence creatively, which is why it's so much fun for both dog and owner. After all, who says that a problem only has one solution?

Clickertraining is about Supertraining. Instead of repeating the same exercises over and over again, the dog learns to be alert as he will have to find his own solutions to different situations. The clicker just lets him know when he is on the right track.

Clickertraining - The Review

Morten Egtvedt and Cecilie Koeste co-author this amazing dog training book which has become the Number One clicker training resource in the Nordic countries, highly impressive when you realize that Norway and Sweden are known for having some of the best dog trainers in the world!

"Clickertraining" is the result of 19 years of experience with training search and rescue dogs. Morten is a certified dog training instructor in the Norwegian army, and he and Cecilie run Canis Clickertraining Academy in 21 cities in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Cecilie also competes in show jumping with her two clicker trained horses.

Together they have created a clear, practical guide, with just the right balance between theory and practice to keep it fun and upbeat. Suffice it to say that Guide Dogs for the Blind (California) requires all their instructors to read it.

Their approach takes canine training to a whole new level by actively involving the dog's judgement. Not only does the dog receive recognition for doing it right, but he also gets satisfaction from having figured out a solution for himself. It takes full advantage of the facts that dogs like to please their owners and love to show how clever they are.

Clickertraining is the ideal dog training book if you wish to sharpen your dog's intelligence and accelerate his learning process. It makes for happy, confident canines who relish nothing more than solving new puzzles.

Don't condemn your dog to a life of boredom. Give him a new outlet to develop his creativity, and watch your best friend bloom and new bonds form between the two of you!
