Clickertraining works perfectly in the "schutzhund"-sport (in tracking, obedience AND protection!)

For all those, who don't speak any German, we have an English spoken area!

We also find that the clicker training start is marvellous... puppies come on beautifully with it.   Mo - Mascani

Yes, I absolutelly agree!

You can start with the work, when you dog is a few weeks old!

It's great!

I,ve just started using the clicker training this year, It has worked well for me in obedience,  I,ve not tried it in tracking and my own personnel opinion is I would not use it in protection the reason being the only keying i want my dog to do in protection is on me or the helper just my opinion so don,t kill me for it.

I have started using it for the new dog I just purchased also.
I believe it does have it,s place in training. 

One more thing to lose track of in my training bag and in the tall grass around the van.

you don't have to have a clicker to clicker train. use your voice

zdog:

          Your right it,s all marker training. The one thing I have found is the tone and sound are always the same with a clicker and for me it,s easier to maintain a learnable quality for my dog, I,m not saying all dogs will respond as well as My Fiest to the clicker I,m starting to us it on my Holly and I will see if i get the same quality of reaction.

Theres always more then one way to skin a cat (or train a dog). I,ve learned more in the last year in training then ever before because I have been able to open my mind more to new experiences. The worst thing a trainer(or training director in my case) can do is have the mind set that everyone elses way is wrong because it,s not my way. Been there, done that, and never going back...

I use my mouth and my body for training mostly. Everything else ends up lawn mower fodder sooner or later.

Please:

Steve and my self are looking for some training...
 
I,m sorry I just had too...

The principles of clicker training arre just the same as those used by, for example, Ivan Balavanov, just that he says "OK" instead of click, therefore avoiding the problems of handling and losing the clicker on the field. The advantage of the clicker is that the sound is very constant so instantly recognisable by the dog. Our puppies learn the basics, sitz, platz etc. with a clicker in the house, they learn so quickly, and dogs trained this way are always happy and eager to work. My husband also uses it on the training field for more advanced obedience. But like Bob Mckown, we have not tried it in protection work.
