I love clicker training. I use it at the shelter on occasion. If you want more information about it, the best resource in my opinion is Karen Pryor. She has both books and video tapes you can purchase on clicker training. She also has a website if you want some more information: Karen Pryors Website
In the meantime, your first step is to teach Gigi to associate clicks with good stuff (usually treats). So the first few days of using it, you are going to just click - treat; click - treat. Then you can start some commands and use the click to signal a good job. It is timing that counts here. You must start clicking at the very second or two after they have done the desired behavior. Then you can give her the treat. After a while you will treat less and less and the dog will start working solely for the click.
Good Luck
