When ever dog performs an action that is desirable you make the sound of a click with the clicker and then reward the dog to let him know that he has done something good. When you repeat this action several times your dog will start to relate the sound of the click to an action that would be rewarded. So any actions that you want to praise do it with a click followed by a treat. This kind of training is known as clicker training.
Clicker becomes an effective way to communicate with your dog. Getting used to clicker training or to do it in the right way takes some time and experience so a person who is new to training a dog may find it difficult to do it at first but with time and expertise this becomes the best way to communicate with your dog to make him do the desirable action. Dogs of any age can be trained with these clickers. Dogs can relate to sounds easily so it becomes an effective technique.
