About Operant Conditioning
Operant conditioning is a type of learning in which an individual's behavior is changed by events that come before or afterwards. In other words, you give a command to your dog to sit, and if he sits, then you give him a treat, and this makes him more likely to sit in the future when you give him the command (he expects a treat). Often, animals can be less sensitive to the specific task they did to receive a reward, and sometimes giving them a treat too late after the desired behavior can cause confusion ("did he give me the treat cause I barked after I stood up after sitting down?"). To solve this, "clicker training" is used to give instant positive reinforcement at the exact moment of the desired behavior. A click noise is played just before giving a treat, and the animal then associates the click with "here comes a treat!", it then becomes excited to hear the click, and then the click can be used alone as an instant treat (without an actual treat).
This application contains a simple list of training instructions in small text, and a button (bell) that causes an authentic click noise similar to devices commonly used to perform professional click training (normally known as a "metal cricket" toy). In addition, the button reacts similarly to a physical device such that it reacts to both the DOWN and the UP part of the click (for professionals that may use differently timed clicks), with distinct sounds for each action.
Follow the on-screen instructions to perform training, and use patience and multiple sessions (possibly over multiple days) before continuing to the next step. The volume of the click is adjustable using the main device volume buttons - the volume of the click may be still be too quiet on your device, but this is the best you're gonna get without using a physical clicker - we amplified the audio as much as possible without causing distortion. It is suggested that if the volume is still too low, you might consider purchasing an additional tiny portable speaker.
