Isn't clicker training great!!!

I found that Clipse picked up on it first. Emily had been trained traditionally and she had to get over the fact that she was allowed to think for herself, not being told what to do. Now that's she's caught on though she's faster at offering me behaviors.

I have Karen Pryor's Dont Shoot the Dog, which is allright, but a little dry. I also have Morgan Spector's Clicker Training for Obedience, which is great but it's geared towards competition obedience.

A few suggestions for getting Tasha over the fear of the clicker is to roll it up (with your hand) in a sweat shirt, layer the back with tape (as someone else mentioned), or you could use something else that isn't as loud as the clicker. Two things that come to mind are a pen, and a juice lid (you know those metal lids that come on glass juice jars??).

Here also are a couple of links to clicker training sites.
