Dog Clicker Training
How to educate your whippet gently and effectively with dog clicker training.
How can you teach a dolphin or a killer whale to perform those amazing stunts and tricks? There is no way to physically force them to obey a command or to punish them for incorrect behavior. Professional animal trainers found that the only effective way is the positive approach to training. Rewarding the wanted action and ignoring everything else is a much more pleasurable and efficient way than to train with traditional methods focused on punishment. Clicker training builds a bond between people and the animals in their lives and becomes a mean of communication between trainer and trainee. With clicker training, first the pet learns to associate the click with rewards. Then the click is used to mark the wanted action.

Clicker training is especially successful for whippets, hounds and independent thinkers that don’t like to bend to authority but happily accept a leader if gently guided.Learning this new approach to dog training often changes also the way people think and act in their ordinary lives. Focusing on positive reinforcement not only helps people to live and communicate with animals but can also promote a new way of thinking and a more open attitude toward other people.
