All three of my dogs are clicker trained. I find this to be a great tool to use to teach new tricks too as well as reinforcing the tricks they know. I like to give them mental exercise with obedience training and they really love it. When the clicker is out, we have much more consistency in our results. It sometimes gets confusing with a multi dog household but we keep them separated when we are working with them. It's worked well for us, we've been doing clicker training since learning it when Barney and Daisy were pups. They never forget it if you do it correctly.
