Clicker training is a science-based method of dog training that uses positive reinforcement to teach dogs new behaviors. It's a fun and effective way to train your dog, and it can be used to teach a wide variety of behaviors, from basic obedience commands to more complex tricks.

Free shaping is a dog training technique that involves rewarding successive approximations of a desired behavior. This means that you click and treat your dog for getting closer and closer to the behavior you want, until they eventually perform the behavior perfectly.
