how can I use the clicker in protection?

[Shirley]

hi everyone,

I have a question:
in which exercises of protection work do you use the clicker?

I ask, because, I've never seen that before

Bye,

Hey there,

for example in the obedience parts. You can tell your decoy to just stand around and you tell your dog to heel. When he shows the correct behavior you click and release him to get the decoy.

Or you can also click your dog for barking when he apprehends the decoy.

I don't think anyone actually clicks his/her dog for biting guess that's pretty much self-rewarding

[Shirley]

thanks for your answer!

can I start that exercise immediately?

or has the dog to learn something before we do that?

My dog only knows the clicker in obedience
I guess, he won't react to my click during protection at all

On this side you find two clips with Barking. I train my patroldog with a system like clicker. This both dogs trained for SAR. For Protection work I need the clicker for barking.
