Clicker Class - Basic Manners for All Dogs: Age 14 weeks & up. Clicker training is the popular term for the training 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. 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 is a positive-reinforcement-based system of training. Certified Instructor: Melanie Perrault from Melanie's Dog House- Londonderry, NH.
