| Said it before, and I'll say it again. There are sooooo many ways to effectively train. The real key is to find what works for that particular dog and handler and commit to it. Here is a perfect example-> A lady in our Schutzhund club, bless her heart, is just not a compulsion type of trainer, which is what her dog really needs.. Her prong and other physical corrections are TOTALLY useless because she is so soft natured and she has a very hard and stubborn dog that has a very high tolerance for virtually any type of correction. it ends up looking like a toddler trying to correct a professional wrestler. The proof was at our last trial, when the darn dog forgot that the handler was even on the field, did its own thing until it got promptly dismissed from the field. So, IMO, she has to find another way to do the job, or start going to the gym :D :D :D
If clicker training is your thing, or if collar/prong training is your thing and works, more power to you, as long as there is fairness and no cruelty attached and you are doing something positive with your dog.
I personally have no use for your type of clicker training, click, click, click. I use my own -> Dogtra 1200 NCP, bzzz, bzzz, bzzz.
