Hiya,
forgive me if this has been posted already--I tried using the search function but since there are so many posts on this board, it brings up pages and pages of unrelated posts.

Anyways, I'm curious what you guys think of clicker training. I picked up a clicker thingy at the petstore today but I don't know if I like the idea. First of all, it's a really annoying sound and I wonder if it is any more effective than simple verbal commands? I'm used to using basic commands and using certain hand signals to train a dog to sit, lie down, etc.

I would appreciate your thoughts and input. If you don't use clicker training, what method do you use?

Thanks!
