How to Train Your Dog Using the Clicker - PetsFoodNutrition.com To use a clicker or other marker with your dog, you must first teach him what the marker implies. Next, you link your chosen marker with a reward, known as “loading the clicker.” So, click, then treat right away. Your dog will learn that the marker signals the arrival of a treat after roughly 10–20 trials. You’re now ready to put the clicker to work.
