zsimms Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Just bought my clicker yesterday for my new pup -- woohoo! If only I could use it with the children! !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamby Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 You will have the best time now you have a clicker. Just make sure the clicker is used to indicate that you liked what the dog just did and reward. I love using the clicker and a cardboard box with Gambit. Annabell she doesn't care she just tries anything and everything. I'm clicker training my 15 week old kitten to come. She is getting target training down pat. You could use the clicker with your children. Sit down and think about what you would like them to do. Instead of the clicker you could use a word that indicates YES. Let us know how you go. Anyone else use the Clicker type training to train their children. Szimms - Have you read Don't Shoot the Dog's by Karen Pryor? great book on how to handle children, husband, dogs, cats, flat mates, friends etc. Let us know your progress.

m-j Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Anyone else use the Clicker type training to train their children. All the time. Works beautifully, a friend of mine works with special needs kids, she loves it. It isn't the clicker that is magic it is the method that is great. Schools use it alot and the standard of learning that kids are achieving now are far higher for the age that was achieved in "my day"(not saying it is the only reason but a few older experienced teachers I have talked to say it very definately helps). Read any kid books Toddler taming and Beyond Toddlerdom are two examples I can think of and they are full of the clicker training methodology. You just need to remember that positive doesn't mean permissive. cheers M-J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 http://www.tagteach.com/ This is the webpage for clicker method with people But as said, you can incorporate the principles of the training and knowledge of operant conditioning with anyone.
