right...click = treat...but you don't
have to click something he already knows. For example if I was teaching 'up' and 'off' I would click once after 'up' and once after 'off'. If my dog knows 'up' already, I would wait and click at the end of the sequence....when he obeyed my command 'off'. Once the behavior is learned, the click can be faded out or removed.
I have used the clickers with the 'target stick' on it. You do teach the dog to 'target' the end of the stick, then you can use the stick to suggest targeting other behaviors. Example...teaching your dog to turn off/on lights, teaching jump, spin, etc. I taught Nisha to target with my fingers, but I think the stick is a great idea. I do however question training your dogs to jump on tables
....behaviors that get rewarded get repeated, do you really want your dogs jumping on tables?
edit....Ha ha, just realized you probably meant agility tables
. Thank goodness
