The clicker is a small device that makes a loud click noise and identifies the exact behavior in a dog.
CRATE TRAINING
Using a crate to confine your pup is extremely helpful in training your puppy proper behaviors.
HOUSE TRAINING
House training is one of the most important training projects for new puppy owners.
GREETING TRAINING
Jumping has to be tied as the number one complaint along with pulling on the leash!
