clicker training
$295.00
Clicker training is a highly effective method for clearly communicating desired behaviors to your dog, making the training process more efficient. Unlike traditional methods where the exact behavior being rewarded might be unclear, the clicker ensures that your dog understands what is being reinforced, even if the reward is not immediate. This approach is particularly beneficial for dogs aged 8 weeks to 5 months.
The program includes four private lessons, each lasting 30-45 minutes, scheduled weekly. During these sessions, your dog will learn six essential commands: Come, Sit, Down, Place, Heel, and Break. Additionally, your trainer will provide a clicker to facilitate effective learning. By booking our Two Week Board & Train program in advance, you could receive Clicker Lessons at no additional cost.
