Ako nabiť kliker (v 3 krokoch)

Využite výskum prof. Sapolského o dopamíne. Kliker nie je len zvuk, je to „biologický prísľub“ odmeny, ktorý psa motivuje viac než čokoľvek iné.

NABÍJANIE: 20x za sebou: KLIK ➔ MAŠKRTA. Pes nič nerobí, len si spája zvuk s jedlom. Keď po kliknutí hľadá dobrotu, máte nabité.

KLIK = PRESNOSŤ: Kliknite presne v sekunde, keď pes urobí to, čo chcete (napr. zadok sa dotkne zeme). Klik označuje správanie, maškrta ho odmeňuje.

KLIK = SĽUB: Ak kliknete, odmena musí prísť. Vždy.

Tip od Sapolského: Keď už pes cvik ovláda, nedávajte maškrtu zakaždým. Neistota („Dostanem ju teraz?“) zvyšuje hladinu dopamínu a pes bude pracovať s väčším nadšením.

How to charge a clicker (in 3 steps)

Leverage Prof. Sapolsky's research on dopamine. The clicker is not just a sound, it's a "biological promise" of reward that motivates a dog more than anything else.

CHARGING: 20 times in a row: CLICK ➔ TREAT. The dog does nothing, just associates the sound with food. When he looks for the treat after the click, you are charged.

CLICK = PRECISION: Click exactly the second your dog does what you want (e.g., bottom touches the ground). The click indicates the behavior, the treat rewards it.

CLICK = PROMISE: If you click, the reward must come. Always.

Tip from Sapolsky: Once your dog has mastered the exercise, don't give a treat every time. The uncertainty ("Will I get it now?") increases dopamine levels and the dog will work with more enthusiasm.

If you need to act naturally during training and not constantly hold a clicker in your hand, then this clicker is what you are looking for.
