Playtime pet trainer ( referral have vibration shares a show lights like and it provides a motivational method of telling a dog that you like what he is currently doing and you want him to continue to do exactly what he is doing at this moment time. If you stop and think about it, when you can do these three things and do them a fashion that keeps your dog motivated and engaged with his handler then you can teach that dog to do almost anything. Marker training that there are also precise places and times a training program where a dog has to experience a correction for disobedience With this said of the people who brought clicker training to the world of dog training came from training sea mammals and birds. You can't correct a killer whale or a parrot when they disobey. It just doesn't work. These people thought they could apply the same exact training principles to dogs and they convinced a lot of new dog trainers that they were right. Well opinion they were wrong.
