FAQs

Clicker training is a method based on positive reinforcement and is used in animal training. With a clicking sound, you mark the exact moment when your animal shows the desired behavior, followed by an immediate reward. The clicker serves as a clear signal that helps animals learn faster and understand behaviors.

It promotes positive behavior, strengthens the bond between humans and animals and supports your pet's self-confidence.

The CLICINO is an innovative ring clicker for training with animals. It is small, light and practical so that you can work comfortably and precisely.

It is usually worn on the index finger or another finger. The soft silicone ends ensure a comfortable fit and secure hold.
