Well... it's interesting enough, I'd have liked an example... to help me along lol. I believe the differing tones in my voice, when training, are an absolute advantage.

Somebody... an example please?

Well, I'll answer to the call of anybody, lol, but my guess is it is something like they would use with dolphins, etc. I believe they call it a "bridge". Once they understand what the bridge is for they use it to get many places.

LOL, Beetree...

I need help... no smart comments please, I want to understand why it's used in preference to the voice.

Having gone through some of the best train-the-trainer, training that the Federal Government offers I have say, that I see no adoption of the clicker system by any of the major law enforcement or search and rescue agencies real soon. Dogs are much different then marine life in terms of auditory recognition. Dogs can literally distinguish the starter sounds of different automobiles. They have a complex auditory system capable of distinguishing the slightest variable of inflection. Numerous canine service training agencies that started with clicker training have moved away from it to simply, positive reward.

Hey Mr Bad Guy, would you be kind enough to stop running for a moment? I left my clicker in my squad car.

Barbie says that you are more than welcome to come test that theory. She hasn't had anyone run in a very long time. Heck you can even run and click a clicker of your own if it will make you feel better.

I have no problem with the clicker, but the open statement that leads one to think that all training will be done with a clicker is goofy.

I am pretty sure that working with a dolphin that is bored fucking retarded in a tank is completely different from training a police dog.

I am SURE that the dog that could be trained with a clicker through all of the work with JUST a clicker is not gonna be much of a dog.........unless it is a drug dog only.

As far as using a clicker, the advantage is that it is the same sound every time. I use my voice, but I will be damned sometimes if I can remember to just say "yes" LOL Forget different tones and the like.

I've never been able to get into any clicker training...But, having been to a couple of clicker training seminars, it is very cool to watch the dogs' brains turn when a behavior is being shaped.
