We do require that everyone use a clicker when in class, and we also eventually discuss how to move your dog over to a verbal marker. However, we find that using the uniform sound of the click while building the desired behaviour creates a stronger response in the dog. It's also faster!
If your dog is scared of the sound, or if you have limited hand mobility, please email us to discuss or speak with your instructor at your first class. There are other options!
