Convenience Matters
When it comes to training a dog, convenience is valuable. You want to be able to quickly click your clicker the moment your dog does the exact behavior you are asking from him. That clicker is a bridge to mark the right behavior and also to let him know he is about to be rewarded.
The Click-It Sticks cut down on your fumbling by providing both a target and a clicker in one. The handle holds the clicker while a metal rod extends out with a plastic ball on the tip, providing the target for your canine friend to touch his nose onto.
Without such a well designed device training can be messy. Imagine your are training a dog to walk nice on leash through the use of target training. You have the end of a leash in one hand, a clicker in the other and your treat bag attached to your hip. Your may also be using a flat palm as the target for your dog to get into position. How are you juggling all these items? Even the best trainers only have 2 hands!
Less Fumble, More Learning
The beginner trainer, or one who has never trained using a clicker, can learn with their dog with the help of the Click-It Stick.. Years ago, we had to learn how to time the dog’s behavior to the sound of the click and timing of providing the treat. If you start out with one of these products you will quickly be able to learn how to charge a clicker and integrate targeting into more complex behaviors, even coming when called!
The advanced trainer may find the use of a Click-It Stick to be fun, refreshing and quite easy! It minimizes the stress of your timing the click and positioning the target so that you can focus on the dog’s learning instead of balancing your items. With your ability to better focus and not worry of fumbling tools, your dog will also be able to focus better and learn quicker.
Target, Click, Treat
In combination with a hands free leash, a Click-It Stick can make each training experience full of fun, progress and reliable behaviors. As you have fun, your dog will also enjoy himself and the training will last a lifetime instead of just when you have a reward handy. The training process is what creates the lasting effect of a dog’s behavior. The more positive it is, the more reliable the behavior is. Using this fun tool will create that positive experience and you will get the results you have always wanted. Happy clicking!
