What is clicker training

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.

What are the benefits of reward-based training?

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

What is the CLICINO Clicker Ring?

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.

How do I wear the Clicker Ring?

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

What are the advantages of the Clicker Ring?

I use a marker word - do I still need the clicker ring?

A marker word can be effective, but a clicker offers additional advantages:

Consistency

The click sound is always the same, while the voice can vary.

Precision
The click provides a clearer signal, especially in noisy environments.

Speed
The click is faster and more direct than a spoken word.

The ring combines these advantages with its convenient handling, making timing easier during training. A marker word can be a useful addition if the clicker is not available.
