Jigsaw Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Came across this YouTube vid First time I've come across someone actively saying clicker training is only for tricks and shouldn't be used for obedience. Somehow I don't think he has quite grasped the "clicker methodology". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I think he missed the boat on this one . . . don't think he understood at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 He does, doesn't he! I know he is a big advocate of the prong collar and most of his training solutions are "put a prong collar" on. I'm not saying the prong collar doesn't have a place but he seems to use it as a cure all for a lot of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haunebu Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The way i understand it, he says clicker is not the end of training. But i would always use my Voice as a Marker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) I think he missed the boat on this one . . . don't think he understood at all. Hit the nail on the head. In the first couple of sentences that was obvious \ He doesn't know the difference between reward and bribe He doesn't realise obedience is nothing but a lot of tricks (for the dog at least - you are just putting a cue to an action you want the dog to perform, exactly as you do for a trick) Edited June 23, 2009 by helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
