Clicker Training Dogs is Not Inhumane
The clicker training method is a method of education scientifically recognized to train any animal through positive reinforcement behavior (chicken, horse, cat, dolphin, dogs…).
The clicker training uses a small box that makes a metallic noise, “click!”, when you press on it. It is a very specific communication tool. It can be used to clearly instruct your dog (cat, horse, ferret, rabbit, bird) exercises, tours, tips, good manners and education.
You can even use the clicker training method to train your dog not to fear grooming and events which made him fear before.
Unlike other methods of education and learning, the clicker training is a method where the dog is actor in his own education, meaning that whether or not the dog performs differently will trigger the clicker (at the beginning of the method). The dog or other animal learns to associate the click with behavior he or she chooses.
The dog will quickly learn that the clicker noise indicates good behavior because, as a first step, the click is always followed by a reward (game, candy, congratulations or caresses, etc…).
Clicker timing is important as an aid to reward the desired behavior at the right time.
Your dog quickly becomes participatory and an attentive learner, in a surprisingly short period of time.
The click is not an order. The dog gets a signal that it has executed a task correctly and the promise that the reward will follow = is the positive reinforcement learning.
In the 1940s, clicker training already existed in the United States for the training of dogs of cinema.
Clicker training is a new approach to communicate with your animal, based on scientific research such as the (Dr. Ivan Pavlov 1905) classical conditioning and operant (Dr. B.F. Skinner 1938) conditioning.
Towards the end of the second world war the clicker training method expanded and was so effective and quick to teach new behaviors that it was first used on pigeons to find crashed aircraft at sea, then subsequently on dolphins to place bombs on the ships in the open ocean.
It was after the second world war that the clicker training method was introduced in the world of the marine shows.
But it is only to the 1970′s that the method made its appearance in the canine and equine world. Clicker Training for Dogs, Horses and Other animals was a new concept.
Karen Pryor (international benchmark for marine biology and behavioral psychology) developed the method in the USA for the education of dogs, adapting it from what she used for marine mammals, on which it is difficult to have a coercive physical action. Jacinthe Bouchard brought the concept in French in Quebec and Catherine Collignon developed it in France.
