Canis Clicker Training is the product of Morten Egtvedt and Cecilie
Koste from Norway. The Canis Clicker Training program consists of an ebook and videos. The
videos show in detail the use of a clicker to train your dog. Over 45,000 books have been sold in Europe. The book
was designed into an ebook in 2008. This article is a Canis Clicker Training
review.
History Summary of Clicker Training
Clicker training is not new. The principles that established the basis for clicker training were
formulated in the 1930’s. The principles were first put into practice by marine biologists to train dolphins. The
marine biologists used an air horn in place of a clicker. A clicker would not have been audible for the dolphins
when under water.
The training went so well that studies followed using the principles of clicker training to train
horses, cats, dogs, and various domesticated animals including birds. It was discovered that animals, who
were trained, using the clicker training methodology mastered skills faster than animals using traditional
training methods. Today clicker training is becoming popular with all type of animal behaviorist
trainers.

What is Clicker Training?
Clicker training uses a mechanical device that makes a click sound. The click sound is used to
acknowledge to your dog that a positive action has been performed. The click affirms to your dog "Job
well done, here is your treat." Every time your dog hears the click sound it is given a treat. You dog
becomes conditioned to the click and the treat. At a certain point in the training your dog will realize that
he can get a treat by completing a designated approved action. When the dog reaches this realization the training
game begins.
During training negative actions are ignored. There is no punishment or retribution using clicker
training. The dog is allowed the freedom to experiment without the fear of punishment. This one factor, of no
punishment, increases your dogs willingness to experiment and accelerates learning.
Why Use a Clicker?
The clicker is a mechanical device that makes a click sound when pressed. The click sound is
always the same. The consistency of the sound allows you dog to understand exactly what action earned the
click and the treat which followed. Your dog, now understanding the desired action that earned the click and
treat, will repeat the action again and again. The clicker is used because it can be clicked immediately when the
desired action occurs and is always the same sound. A verbal response takes a moment or two. That moment or two of
delay can create confusion for your dog. A confused dog is unable to know exactly what desirable action
he should perform.
