Clicker training can help a shy dog develop confidence by building trust
| | Building Confidence With Training
| | If you work at or have ever visited a shelter, you know these dogs: the shy dogs that cower in the corner of the kennel, reluctant to interact with visitors, staff, or other dogs. Unfortunately, since they aren't greeting visitors at the front of the kennel, they are also the dogs that don't always get adopted. Clicker training can help a shy dog develop confidence by building trust and giving the dog control over the environment.
