Re: Clicker Training ?

It has worked very well for me in training for contacts in agility, except my co-ordination is not very good and I often click at the wrong time
How often we say it's not the dog, it's the handler's fault!

That's why I prefer using a marker word. I am a bit un-co (LOL) and find it much easier just to say 'yes' rather than fiddle around with a clicker. Especially if I am doing guiding instead of luring which I sometimes to with things like stand.
