From Virginia Broitman and Sherri Lippman’s The How of Bow Wow, this clear overview of clicker training gives you the basics in just one minute! From the ClickFlicks Learning Center. www.clickertraining.tv “Clicker training” is the popular term for the training or teaching method based on what we know about how living organisms learn. Research has shown that any creature—whether a dog, cat, dolphin, parrot, fish, horse, llama, or person—is more likely to learn and repeat actions that result in consequences it desires and enjoys. So clicker trainers provide consequences desired by their animal in exchange for actions or behaviors desired by their trainers. We call these consequences “rewards” and the process is called “reinforcement.” Clicker training, therefore, is a positive-reinforcement-based system of training. First widely used by dolphin trainers who needed a way to teach behavior without using physical force, operant conditioning (the scientific term for clicker training) can be and has been successfully employed with animals of all sizes and species, both domesticated and wild, young and old; all breeds of dogs and puppies, cats, birds, leopards, rats, rabbits, chinchillas, fish, and more. Clicker trainers who learn the underlying principles have at their disposal a powerful set of tools that enable them to analyze behaviors, modify existing methods for individual animals, and create new methods where none previously existed.

Star Trek TNG – Force of Nature, Data been trying to train his cat Spot to get down from his console with little success, but Geordi remarks that Data’s training is coming along. Spot first appeared in “Data’s Day” as a male, long-haired Somali cat. In subsequent appearances, Spot was seen as a more common American short-hair orange tabby, but still as a male. It was only in the seventh season episode “Force of Nature” that Spot was first referred to as she. In “Genesis”, she even gave birth.
Kizzy, our Bengal cat, can do dog tricks. He can do more tricks than are shown on the video, but Linda ran out of treats. We originally made this video for National High Five Day, hence all the high fives.
We saw Cooper (our Persian kitten) wiping his face after meals, and thought that it was utterly cute, so we brought out the clicker after his subsequent meals to catch him in the act, and see if we cannot teach him to wipe his face on command. After a few clicker-based training sessions, Cooper was responding well to the command “Wipe your face,” so we faded the use of the clicker. Cooper also developed another move, “Begging,” when he was attempting to wipe his face with both paws while doing “Gluteus.” We hope that our example above gives you some ideas for pet training. If you see your precious furbaby do something that you like, you can pretty much teach your pet to repeat it on command through rewards-based training methods. Just remember to keep your eyes open and have fun with your furbaby. Thanks for joining us. Please visit our pet blog at SweetFurr.blogspot.com for more information and pictures. Video Rating: 4 / 5
