i have 2 months and a half french buldog. he is so hyper, he bites a lot, i get that he is like playing this way but it hurts a lot. i dont want to intimidate him, but its just so hard. i try to give hime solution - stick, toy, happily play with thim, but it helps only sometimes. so my question: how to teach him not to bite? is he to young to start clicker training? cause im introducing him to clicker, slowly. thank you so much

@puzirc I will send you a message about this as my comment too long to post!

I really need to try this with my Bulldog. He's actually 7 months now and he only knows how to sit. I hope it's not too late!

One question I have is, how do you wean them off the treats? I have done some clicker training before, but Blake pretty much ALWAYS needs to have a treat for it to work...

@BlakeTheBullie it's never too late! I adopted a 12 year old dog that had no training and he now does all sorts of tricks, his name is Vinnie and you can see him in some of my latest videos :) you get it so as the behaviour is 100% first and then ask for 2 repetitions of the behaviour, verbally praise (no click or treat) for the first and then click and treat on the second, then ask for 3 repetitions before you click and treat and get up to around 5-7 and then ask for a variable number....

@BlakeTheBullie you should also try the behaviour out in lots of different places and soon you will be able to only reward with praise, always give lots of praise as they really are doing you a good turn by doing what you ask :) I also think it's good to reward old behaviours with a treat once in a while just to remind your dog that you really appreciate them doing it for you. hope that helps :)

i think clickers are only nessesary for puppies, they just need something like that to break their concentration which words cant rly do.

[zsianz1]

@Pimpmastahanhduece clickers are actually very effective for dogs of any age as they are work as a very consistent and clear marker to the dog that what they were doing at the second they heard the click was the correct thing. check out my video "border collie tricks show" to see what is possible with clicker training tricks or "solving aggression towards a family member" to see how it works for behaviour :)

Hi it's me again and my friend says her dog likes the ball better than the treat so this simply won't work, any suggestions? Please answer asap. Thanks

[DakotaJane1994]

thank you so much my dog now knows how to drop it! Although I use commands like drop it rather than a clicker but thanks so much!

@zsianz1 I would like to know your answer to this as well! I have a 15-week-old AmStaff and she is feisty! She is extremely smart yet very strong willed and wants to do what she wants to do. She recognizes the click, but there are times when she's nipping at my 5-year-old daughter and I click and drop a treat or call her to me she doesn't respond because she is determined to torment my daughter AKA, her litter mate. Any advice is appreciated.
