 At least 1 Clicker
A Clicker is the most important part of Clicker Training because your clicker is your tool to enforce the behavior you want. When you get your clicker and start training, just train your dog that click means treat - nothing else for the first day. Click. Treat. Repeat. Make sure you only push the clicker once - otherwise your dog will not understand that he is being 'clicked.' If you are very excited and happy that he is getting a trick, still only click once, but give him more treats. We got one clicker for each member of the family. You can get clickers at your local pet store, or at www.clickertraining.com.
Lots of treats.
This needs to be different than his everyday breakfast, lunch, and dinner food. Something special and tasty. Give only small treats and when he does an impressive job, give him about twice as much more. (See Jackpot) You may be able to clicker train him during his lunchtime (you can use his everyday food then, because it is lunchtime), if he is hungry, so he can work for his food and not get overweight. Here are some treats that dogs love.
-
Fried Bacon. Dogs go crazy when they smell bacon and will do any kind of trick to get some.
Cheese
-
Lunchmeat. Thin ham and turkey slices work very well.
-
Dog Biscuits.
-
Chicken.
-
Sometimes if he does a really good job while you're training, you can introduce a new toy or bone.
