Just to clear up some errors in Clicker training that are around a clicker is a means to an end and a tool that should not have to be carried with you 24/7 if it is used in the right manner.
Use of words while ok is actually slower and less likely to mark the action you want as a click is faster then a voice.
Now working aggression I use words as I am working a moving dog after a trigger and it is one less thing to deal with. Shaping an sit, down or trick I use a clicker and it can go very fast.
No reward markers as if no or uh are only bringing notice to that which you do not want and increases the chance it will happen again.
We as human seen to need to talk to much if we are quiet and let the animal we are working with be it tiger ,dog horse whale or goat it will figure out how to get it to click.
My one dog is on clicker and I rarely get it out now but when I do she very happy as she knows it play time..ok mom what you want me to do to ge that to click today. But now we are well past random work on sit or down she knows she to do it even if I do not have a treat as she will get told good girl or get a pat or a ball or not even anything that time but maybe the next.
It is a miss understanding or lack of knowledge of how to actually use a clicker if one is carrying one around all the time.
If you use treats all the time whether it is clicker or lure training passed early learning stage it bribery not training.
