What is a Target Stick? Loads of Fun!
With clicker training you do a lot of “target training” which may or may not employ the use of a target stick.
So if you are asking just what is a target stick, this video will give you a very clear and ample definition of it.
Just like your hand, a plate on the ground, or a contact point, the target stick is just another helpful tool for training.
Some will find it very helpful if they have trouble physically reaching their dog due to health or the dog’s size.
It comes in very handy for small dogs and, like this video shows, can be as simple as a wooden spoon to an actual target stick.
All you do is build value just as you would any other target such as your hand and you are on your way.
