WATCH THIS FIRST: How-To train your Dog using a clicker and food

This is a video about: How-To train your Dog using a clicker, food, and positive reinforcement method. This video explains how to condition your dog to the sound of the clicker.

Clickers are available at your local pet supply store. I purchased mine at Petco. Clickers are generally very inexpensive.

I like to use small pieces real cheese or real meat when I am training Taz. I prefer to use a small ziploc bag to hold the treats while I train.

I usually train Taz 2-3 times per day, for 15-20 minutes each time, using positive reinforcement methods. We practice new tricks and reinforce tricks he already knows.

Taz loves his training and gets very excited when he hears the jingle of me getting the clicker or putting his bits of treats into a ziploc bag. He performs all of his tricks by choice and gets rewards for his behavior. He loves to show off! Please check out more of Taz's videos on my channel: RoxyDachsie.

Please also ensure your veterinarian gives you the OK to train your dog before starting any dog training program.

Thanks for watching! Happy Training!

I am planning on getting a Miniature Dachshund but I am scared about training him!

All the videos say that they are really -REALLY- hard to be trained.

[RoxyDachsie]

@SuperDanVEVO I don't think they are "really" hard to be trained. I think they just require a good amount of patience and persistence when training them. The tend to be pretty motivated by good quality treats and lots of praise. If you are ready to give your mini dachshund that kind of attention, then you will be fine. I absolutely love my mini and people are very impressed when he shows off his tricks. They are one of the cutest and funniest breeds out there!

Hi, very impressed with how you train your Dachshund. I will be getting a clicker for my Dachshund puppy. I noticed your dog has what looks like blue nails, is that nail polish or kitty caps?

[RoxyDachsie]

@JonesZoey haha good observation! he had nailpolish for a couple weeks as an experiment! Never again...never again...lol it was very hard to get off...
