Correct and to tell the truth I have been clicker train during the learning phase (weaves, contacts etc.) and when we're maintaining skills (i.e spending a few minutes on down contacts) but once Bear "knows" the obstacle we go through a sequence and then play tug if he's focused and does reasonably well given my novice handling skills. In rally and agility class, when we do practice sequences, I pick an exercise or two to reinforce based on the coursemap and what we find the hardest because it's kinda hard to go through a whole sequence and click/treat after EVERY obstacle/station not to mention unfair to other classmates who are waiting their turn on equipment.
