At Wigtoft Dog Training Club we promote clicker training. This is a training method where we mark the desired behaviour with a "click" sound. This sound is produced by a mechanical device, called a clicker. The animal will learn that a click means that the behaviour or action shown at the time of the click was correct and a nice treat is now available. This means that clicks will be followed by a treat all the time.  By marking the right behaviour and then reinforcing it with food, the animal will get motivated to try to repeat the same movement or behaviour.
