ABSTRACT:
Clicker training has now become a world-wide phenomenon, with many trainers recognising its benefits for training different species with kindness and behavioural understanding. This article investigates how this method has implications for veterinary practice as well as the training class, and whether we are still only scratching the surface of its potential impact on behavioural problem prevention and treatment.
