14. Positive reinforcement training - clicker method

Clicker training is a positive reinforcement training method.
Rarely used by Singapore dog owners in toilet training. When a dog does what the owner wants on listening to the clicking sound of the clicker, he is rewarded with a food treat.

1. Spend time teaching the dog that he gets a food treat after listening to a click.
2. The dog does something desired by the owner, the owner clicks (equal to saying "Good Boy") and the dog is rewarded with a food treat.
3. The advantage: The tone of the clicker is consistent unlike the owner's or family member's voice commands.
