I did the clicker training and the dog picked it up really fast. It really helped reinforce when he did something right because the sound was immediate even if it took a second or two for me to get a treat to him. When I first started, I would click, then treat without asking him to do anything just so he would asssociate the sound with a treat. He picked it up in a few minutes. It also helps to have a really worthwhile treat like tiny bits of hotdog that they only get when training.
