what is a clicker?can you give me an example of a clicker?is it the requirement for training a puppy?can you give me some basic to train my 6 weeks old puppy?because i want my puppy to be good..thank you very much..i hope that you will answer it..=)

Answer
a clicker is just a little handheld training aide that emits a clicking sound when you press a button. It is used as part of a reward system for propper behavior.It's  not necessary to use one for training but some trainers like to use them because the sound they make is completely different from any other household noise  which is sometimes helpfl to dogs. I suggest taking your puppy to a puppy obedience class which will cover instructions for caring for,training and raising a puppy.Petco and Petsmart have classes for puppies and owners.
