Learn more about clicker training

By Gina Spadafori

Clickers allow trainers to accurately time the reinforcement of behaviors they want to see repeated.

Clicker-training pioneer Karen Pryor's books, seminars and Web site (Clickertraining.com) are highly recommended for learning more about this training method. While you're on the Internet, you can also join the ClickerSolutions e-mail group (clickersolutions.com) run by trainer and author Melissa Alexander, whose "Click for Joy" (Sunshine Books, $25) was named the dog-training book of the year when it first came out.

Many trainers also offer clicker classes, so ask around for help locally.

Clicker training isn't limited to dogs -- all animals (and even aquarium fish) can learn with this method. Check out YouTube for a video of a cat learning with a clicker to turn on a light (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vja83KLQXZs).

Search for "clicker training" for more on YouTube.
