Clicker training

Hi guys

Just wondering has anybody used clicker training with their dogs. If they have how did they find it.

I've read about it in a few books and websites, but there seems to be alot of differen't opinions on how well it works.

Dimples.

I have used it and found it very good, BUT you must get the timing spot on otherwise you end up praising the dog for the wrong action.

Many people use the clicker in totally the wrong way and there are alot of people who think they are teaching the correct way to classes when really they have no idea about it!!!

This is a useful article (has other info. down the left hand side) about it:
