Pit Bull Terriers And Clicker Dog Training - part 2

by Tim Amherst

The idea behind clicker training is to teach the dog to be obedient while avoiding harmful punishments and negative reinforcement. Each time you click the clicker, your pet will get a treat. Soon he will attribute reward with good behavior, and the training will be a success. The Pit Bull will soon learn what behaviors get him a treat, and will stop doing the things that don’t earn treats, therefore eliminating bad behaviors. Clicker training also helps the Pit Bull develop a better relationship with its owner. Pit Bulls are known for their high intelligence, so they should be fast learners with this method.

The clicker dog method of training should be used as an alternative for punishing your dog. Research has shown that when using punishment to stop bad behavior, you often stop that behavior, and another one develops in its place. Most dogs respond better to positive reinforcement, rather than negativity. No matter what training method you decide to use, it is important to keep in mind that no dog will learn overnight, and that it may take some time and patience on your part for your dog to behave in the way that you would like him to. Develop a training routine and stick with it until the end, and you and your dog should both be happy.
