The trick is too make the him associate the clicker dog training tool sound with a specific command that you have given.
When he performs as expected when given a command followed closely by the clicker, then you must reward him.
Now how is your furry friend going to know that this clicker sound will lead to reward? Answer is, he won't.
You need to teach your pup that the correct action for the command given followed by the clicker sound will result in a reward for good behavior or doing what was expected.
Huh!!! how's that work? It's really quite simple.
There are a huge variety of dog clickers, all you need is a cheap dog clicker, a bag of healthy dog treats, easily purchased at your local pet store and some free time to spend with your best friend.
There are a number of reasons why one would use dog clickers, but in this instance.
What's most important is that your pup associates the clicker dog training tool sound with a healthy dog treat coming his way because he did a good job.

Dog Clickers - Dog Training Tool- How? It's a three step process.
Getting the desired dog behavior: You may want your boy to sit, stay, fetch, roll over...
make a cup of coffee(not likely, only joking).
Dogs clickers are perfect for this type of training.
Once your furry friend is performing the desired activity, mark this with the clicker and give him his healthy dog treat.
Repetition: After two or three markings - 1.
good behavior - 2.
click - 3.
reward, the dog should know what is expected.
The dog should repeat the set behavior whenever you click the clicker.
This allows you to embed the activity in the dogs mind, clicker response is immediate and will lead to reward.
Verbal or spoken commands alone, would take that much longer to imprint in the mutts mind.
All that is required now is repetition and more repetition.
That way the dog's behavior is reinforced and it becomes second nature.
Try phasing out or limiting the treats as well, too many healthy dog treats can become a bad thing.
Rather start replacing the physical reward with praise and affection, your dog will love that just as much.
Transitioning to a Command: At some stage you will want to eliminate dog clickers.
Using spoken commands only you would want to get your best friend to perform anywhere, even when there are no dog clickers involved.
This transition to spoken commands is the final payoff.
Here's how, as you are about to use the clicker dog training tool, first say the command in a strong and firm voice, immediately click and follow with the reward (healthy dog treat or petting and affection).
This process will quickly imprint in your furry friends mind and the dog will connect these three activities.
In time your boy will do what is instructed and accept the reward without any dog clickers being used.
Soon the hound will react simply on your command and the desire for reward can gradually be phased out.
Your dog will perform the command just to please you.
A really useful and easy to use dog training tool.
