| Simba,
I am not answering for Barry, but here is my opinion:
you cannot use the clicker to stop any type of behavior... what you can use it for, is to teach alternate behavior....
example: when the dog stops nipping, click and treat (C&T)
after a few of these sessions, add a word like "stop" (not relevant what the word is)... insert the word as you are inbetween C&T.... w/in a few sessions the word should prompt the dog to stop bitting, as it will be looking for the treat... C&T..
make sense?
so the theory that follows.... the clicker taught nothing, stopped nothing, but it allows you to teach controlling behavior rapidly, and easily ;)
