oo I lOVE clicker training! it works sooo well, happy took a long time to learn the box turn in flyball this was with no clicker, and she still has a bad box turn, misty was clicker trained her box turn, and is gorgous! ALWAYS right on target and always 4 feet on the box, we also clicker trained her to fetch the tennis ball, she can get the ball from the box now solidly thanks to the clicker, same with Ripley we clicker trained him, and now he does all the stuff we clicker trained him to do all the time in hope of getting a click! perky does tricks just hoping for the click to, and she is very good, they know what the click means and they keep trying until they get the click worked a miracal on happy, clickering is what we used to get her so much better and out of her fear aggression, we could not get her in a petstore, 2 weeks later of clicker training she was sleeping inside the store and we had tried all the same things without the clicker before and it just did not work using only praisewords not for happy anyway, you can also us a one sylible word, like "ta" or "yes" those work just the same as the clicker and just as well
