| Yes there are many roads to Rome and l have used clicker traininig. I've trained over thirty dogs to different titles and dogs for service work and I've trained marine mammales. Clicker training is great. But why do you need to send all that time getting the dog to connect with the primary reinforcer and the click. When you would be better to control your poor human emotions and teach the dog that good dog and pat are the clicks. But simply sit with your puppy strok it on the head and feed it at the same time and say over and over again good dog. Then once the dog responds to the praise and the pat then you can train. Off course when you have a dog that has been total desensitized to being touched and spoken to like it's a human then may be you would need to resort to cliker training. |
