Dog training supplies list: clicker,
pinch collar, treats
To create an
obedient pet, you need some basic dog training supplies to help in your
efforts. The list should include a clicker, pinch collar, and treats to
reward good behavior. There are other dog training supplies you could
include, but a clicker, pinch collar, and treats are the essentials, in
my opinion.
Using dog training supplies like a
clicker, pinch collar, and reward treats
These dog
training supplies all work together to streamline your obedience
sessions with pet dogs. The clicker is used to associate a command with
a simple noise in your animal's mind. Think Pavlov's bell in his
classic experiments. The pinch collar produces a mildly painful
sensation for correction, but is in no way harmful. And the treats are
very important as positive reinforcement for the good behavior you want
to repeat.
The dog
training supplies section of most pet stores will have all of these
items, and none is expensive. The clicker style really isn't important,
but should be loud enough to be heard if you train dogs where it's
noisy. Be careful picking the pinch collar, as you want to get one that
is large enough for your animal's neck. And it's a good idea to pick
treats that are low-calorie and small, so you don't inadvertently create
obese pets.
If you have a
tight dog training supplies budget, you might use a simple finger snap
in place of the clicker. The pinch collar is important, but you can use
standard collars and just produce a quick but powerful jerk to get your
message across. Just be careful! The treats for positive reinforcement
should be healthy, but you can use something homemade to save money.
