Clicker Training Basics With Your Bichon Frise

I had used the clicker to train my last dog and found that it worked wonders so, when I got my Bichon Frise, I started clicker training with him.
I didn't need to go buy a clicker because I still had lots of them lying around the house; but I'm sure I could have found one at any pet supply shop. I did need a pile of delicious treats though and I cut up some cheddar cheese into tiny bits.
The sound emitted from the clicker helps the dog to understand exactly what it did right. It's kind of like the connector word but it isn't affected by tone, stress or exasperation, it makes the same sound every time. This helps minimize any confusion your Bichon Frise might be interpreting from your voice.
For example should my Bichon Frise puppy sit voluntarily, I would click at the moment his butt touched the floor and treat him immediately. I would only add the verbal command after he had performed the action several times with the help of a lure.
