Why clicker train?

Clicker training is simple and easy, almost anyone can do it provided you have a dog that hears and is motivated by food. If your dog is deaf a vibrating collar can be used instead. All breeds, sizes, temperaments and ages of dogs can be trained with the clicker method.

The San Diego Zoo, San Diego Wild Animal Park, Los Angeles Zoo and Sea World use clicker training (or variants of it, using whistles instead of clickers for example) to train their animals for desired behaviors and behaviors that make examination by a vet easier.
