| I'm pretty sure I would train very close to how I do things now, minus the clicker. I tend to let the dog figure things out and reward with high value treats. I might substitute a visual "YES! signal" hands together (like praying) instead of the click followed by the treat.
I would emphasise more than any other dog, to "look at me!" (after each agility piece, if you're doing agility) The vibrating collar, as long as it's not a punitive type vibration, could possibly be used to call the dog to you.
