Just a few thoughts. Clicker is a better marker when working fast shaping and more acturate. When I work aggression it fast and hard and ugly so I tend ot forget the click and just keep feeding the behaviour I want and see that is good.
If we are in full flip out which is rare we are to busy doing damage control to click.

That said it is still better to use a metalic click to mark and if the dog is afraid try several other methods. pen click, I click is softer, in the pocket, under duct tape, just some thoughts.
If using a word yes and wrong come up in normal conversation to much and should be avoided think up a fake sound not word related at all to use. Some use a tongue click.
