You are so right. People don't realize that a pup has to be conditioned first to the clicker. Click, feed, click, feed......then once they associate that....you go on with positive reinforcement.....clicking when you obtain the correct behavior you are looking for.....but, you must follow up with a treat as soon as you click.....
Click training my dogs has helped me pull them out of unwanted ring behavior.
Another thing that pet owners are not aware of is the fear factor time frames.....8, 12, 16, 21 weeks.......Nothing, nothing should be done out of the ordinary during these timeframes. Anything that creates fear will be embedded into them.
