Click to Calm: Clicker Training for Reactive and Shy Dogs

This list is intended for those dog owners and instructors who use the methodology of clicker training to help desensitize and countercondition their reactive and/or shy dog(s) to specific kinds of challenging stimuli as well as select environmental settings. Please feel free to safely share your wisdom, experiences, successes and failures in reference to this topic. As you participate in this list, please remember that we are all learners here. We ask that you help to maintain a positive, supportive and safe environment for all listers to share their experiences (good and bad) as well as receive emotional support from other listers as they go through this sometimes grueling process.
