Hi is their a thread already with info discussion on this?
I am new to the board and planning on getting a dog in spring time (Beagle hopefully)
and have seen clicker training mentioned a few times but apart from knowing it involves something which you use to
make clicking noises and thats the extent of my knowledge on this...
anybody able to explain the basics?

Welcome to the forum Stu :-)

If you type the words 'clicker training' into the search facility in the top right hand corner of the forum page, you will be given lots of past threads on this subject :-)

Good luck with your Beagle!

Cheers Leigh

Read this thread a few days back and ordered myself the clicker training device. I've used it along with treats to get Buddy to come to me. So far so good as he comes 9/10 times when i click.
This combined with John Fisher to educate myself in Doggy thinking is paying off big time. My older brother who is my dog's biggest critic had commented that Buddy is much better behaved.
