You kinda let the dog pick the behavior at first, and if you like it you "mark" that behavior with a click. The treat doesn't have to be a dog biscuit, it could be human food like hotdogs cut into tiny pieces, or steak cut into tiny pieces. You eventually get rid of the treats and change to verbal praise. I did a little clicker training when Schatz was a tiny pup. We did the basic sit, down, shake hands, but I didn't use it for any problems, so I can't advise on that. There are quite a number of clicker sites on the web, just do a search on clicker training and you'll get alot of sites to read. Have fun.
