When it comes to the procedures of taming an animal, there is a psychological terminology that pertains to the positive reinforcement training in dogs. This type of training is called clicker training. Clicker training is done by means of a metal device that produces a clicking sound when pressed. If the dog has successfully executed a command, a treat is given right after the “clicker” is pressed. The clicking sound serves as a stimulus for the dog the follow a command because there will be a reward afterwards.

Clicker training as well as other types of training is very effective when it comes to teaching a Cavalier Spaniel. Cavalier Spaniel breeds are very intelligent which is why they are one of the most recommended pets for first time owners. The Cavaliers are playful and gentle and nature and they can bring about happiness to any member of the family. The clicker training, despite the intelligence that the Cavalier already has, will motivate it to do more, play more and be more active than usual.

Training via clicker works as dog correlate the sound of the clicker and your command, the sound is a strong and sharp sound that is audible up to 20 meters away. The dog must learn that the sound of the clicker is its reward for being able to act with a desirable behavior. This can be done by accompanying the sound of clicker with a reward such as biscuits for dogs of praise from its master. Remember, never to use the clicker for any other reason except as a reward for the dog. You may think that an oral command works fine too but the distinctive sound of the clicker that goes with a command is so much better and yields to a better outcome, as been testified by the very satisfied pet owners who used clicker.

Be sure to follow the step to get the maximum result. You first have to convince your dog to do what you desire, may it be rolling over, sitting, etc. As soon as he was able to deliver what you want, mark it with praise, reward and a clicker. It would usually take about two or three markings before it absorbs that what it did is a positive behavior that deserves positive outcome. This is better that oral command for it brings out better and faster response. And also, reward can come in praise, pat, hug, etc. that is not necessary all the time, if your Cavalier is used to the clicker system, sometimes all it wants is just to please its master.
