Clicker training is so easy and so much fun for both you and your dog. With the positive reinforcement method of clicker training, you just give the command, and when your dog performs correctly, you click and give him a treat. It’s as easy as 1-2-3!
Training to speak.
- Make sure he knows how to stay and sit.
- Start with a click and treat to get his attention.
- Tell him to sit, then click and treat.
- Tell him to stay, then click and treat again.
- Then wiggle your finger back and forth and say “Speak.” When he barks, click and treat.
Some dogs may get overly excited and bark at inappropriate times. So it’s important to teach him to be quiet as well.
Training to be quiet.
- When your dog starts barking at something, check to make sure everything is okay.
- Then get his attention.
- As soon as he quits barking, tell him “Quiet” and click and treat.
- You can also create a situation that causes him to bark to do the training.
Be patient, always positive, and have fun clicker training your dog!

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My blog goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
