PREDICTABILITY
If you are trainer who clicker trains, or an individual that understands how to use a clicker with a dog, this page is probably not for you. This is for individuals that do not understand the clicker, and need to understand what the constant feeding and clicking can create.
One thing that I learned a long time ago was not to become predictable with animals. Many times predictability can create behavioral problems such as testing, and in some cases aggression. Having said that, the constant clicking and feeding is a predictable action. You click and you feed.
Where is the dog watching? Think about it. When I see many of the dogs that are trained this way they are constantly watching the trainer's hands. The reason is a clicker is in one hand and a treat comes from the other hand. I don't want the dog watching what is in my hands. I want the dog watching me.
I don't want the clicker to mean "food" or a "treat". I want it to mean that "you did it right".
When training any animal, you need to have the trust and consistency of the animal knowing what is expected of her. I cannot think of a more important time than when you are doing something like this.
